[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You ask. They will look up your kid's score. They will say it's too low. You will ask what the cut off is. All they will say is your kid's score is too low.

"So if you say my kid's score is too low, can you assure me that no student will get in with a lower score?"

They couldn't answer. That made them mad.[/quote]

This is a ridiculous premise. AAP selection is clearly laid out to not just be take the x highest cogat scores. They're mad because you're there being ridiculous.

Also, if this is about the pool - the pool is just a way to make sure that high scoring kids who weren't referred through other avenues don't get missed just because no one referred them. I think I saw the statistics on acceptances from pool compared to parent referred and the parent referred had higher percentage than the pool. But I'm not sure how it accounted for kids who were both.

Which makes some sense, because they've made pretty clear that after meeting a threshold of "high cogat" the teacher ratings and ratings of work samples is more important. And the kids who teachers would rate highest have probably hinted to parents to refer them[/quote]
