[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole AAP admissions process is a dog and pony show. They hire consultants to come up with a process. This gets updated to represent the latest zeitgeist. Same as college admissions. The process gives cover to bureaucrats. I guess this might capture 1/2 or 3/4 of deserving students. [b]Parents who are informed and interested stack the deck towards their kids. Not fair but that is how the game is played. Other kids are at a disadvantage. [/b] [/quote] There is pushback from the school system, though. If your family bears the name of a suitably unpopular ethnicity, and you are actively interested in seeing your kid enter AAP, they'll peg you for a Tiger Mom and react accordingly: lower GBRS, polite discouragement, and focus on feedback which reflects being overambitious.[/quote]
