[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is that they would pick Child A, who as an outlier may have more difficulty getting accommodated in his/her regular school.[/quote]

And yet, Child B is equally qualified for that seat, i.e. could presumably succeed equally if given access to the HGC.  Tweak your scenario a little bit -- suppose Child A is in on grade level math, despite the higher level math being offered at his/her school.  Assume Child B is a hard worker or loves math, so he/she is in 2 years ahead math?  Maybe Child A is so bright he/she is not engaged enough to work ahead.  Maybe Child A hates math and doesn't care to be advanced.  Who knows?  Only the parent, who is only a supplicant in this decision making process.

It's probably exceedingly rare that any two applicants are identical on all application criteria but one.  [/quote]

Don't get me wrong -- I'm not saying they SHOULD pick A!  Just that I think that's what they would do.

I think there should be spots for A and B.[/quote]
