[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Friend’s kid at low SES school. 99 percentile cogat. Rejected AAP. [/quote] I knew a few kids that were rejected with scores in the 97th - 99th percentile rejected from AAP. All of them appealed and only one got in. Guess which one? The one with scores in the 99th percentile. We're in a mid level SES area btw. If you are not an URM scores in the mid/upper 90th percentile will certainly get you in. White/Asian, no chance.[/quote] This makes me really curious to know what percent of say 2nd graders in FCPS is in this range (90th-99th). It must be the case that 99th is not sufficiently discriminating if a child from a low SES school can score that way and not get in. Isn't it the case that they need to be in the top 20% at their school? Maybe in a given lower SES school you still may have 30% who score this way on the COGAT. Lower SES doesn't mean most kids are doing poorly. [/quote]
