[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back in 2020 when they did the study a good GBRS boosted a kid [i]over a kid with the same test scores[/i] by 50%. But very, very few kids have OP's kids' test score. [b]If the rest of the packet is good, I would think that the usual weight given to HOPE would be diminished here.[/b]

OP did you do the parent referral and parent questionnaire? Did you make sure to include specific, detailed examples that matched HOPE/GBRS traits in your answers? If not, include that with your appeal. Sure they don't count parent stories as much as teacher ones, but according to our AART it still helps.[/quote]

That's how it *should* work, but no one knows how it actually works.  It's surprising to me that any kid with 99th percentile scores in both ability tests and achievement tests would be rejected from AAP, yet it seems to happen every single year.   [/quote]

Exactly.  I can see HOPE boosting/sinking some kid on the margin (75th-85th percentile), but the kids who score in the 99th percentile should not have their AAP eligibility undermined by a subjective index, a large part of which is non-academic to begin with.  No matter what people say about prepped/not prepped, above a certain level should be a shoe-in.
