[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. I don't know why I'm being crucified for speaking the truth. Sour grapes.[/quote] Sour grapes? You are just asserting it's prestigious "like UVA" because your kid (presumably?) is/was in AAP and you want to make this out to be more important than it is. AFAIK, AAP is a slightly advanced curriculum and it's a crapshoot who gets in. If parents are persistent enough, it seems to increase the odds of admission greatly, even if the kid isn't gifted or greatly advanced. It's not prestigious and I certainly wouldn't brag about it. Anecdotally, I know some extremely smart college students (who got into UVA, incidentally) who were not in AAP. This doesn't surprise me in the least. If kids are snobby in AAP I guess we know where it comes from![/quote]
