[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Candidates need solid evidence that they are qualified beyond prepping and parental polishing. Reviewers are getting better at seeing through the bs. Prepping has poisoned the pond. [/quote] Well, that's a crock of BS. Parents who understand the system well enough to prep and polish their kids also understand how to construct a good AAP application packet. The kids getting excluded are more likely the non-preppers with parents who don't understand the process as well and just assumed that their smart kids would get in. Submitting work samples from home, detailed parent letters, letters of recommendation, etc. all look much more like an over-invested parent who groomed a child to be picked for AAP. I've worked with a lot of AAP kids, and most of them are neither very smart nor very advanced. Most of them seem like typical above-average UMC children. [/quote] +1 to all[/quote]
