[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The chances of getting accepted in pool are going to be higher because those kids will naturally have higher scores.

Being in pool by itself doesn't "impact" chances, but it is correlated with higher chances to begin with.[/quote]

This.  If the in-pool cutoff is a 136 CogAT, the in-pool kid with a 136 doesn't have a better chance than the not-in-pool kid with a 135.  The committee would view those scores as being essentially the same.  Being in-pool does not in and of itself grant bonus points.  The in-pool kid with a 140 has better chances than the not in pool kid with a 125, simply because the test scores are higher.

Also, keep in mind that kids who are in pool may still have bad work samples, a low HOPE rating, low iready scores, or an uneven profile (like very high NNAT and lower CogAT or a serious deficiency in one of Q or V).  In pool kids like that are less likely to be admitted.  Non pool kids with high iready scores, high HOPE ratings, and strong samples are likely to get in.  It really is holistic.
