[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this AAP thing is pretty stupid and unfair.
I don't know where to start accusing the stupidity and unfairness of this AAP thing. (first of all, talking to some parents at her school, the kids who got in to Level 4 AAP with scores in the high 80 percentile or low 90 percentile of their COGAT. I think some people have connections or whatever)

My 4th grade daughter's scores are high:

COGAT 133 
score 99 percent on her SOL
she is doing 5th grade math exercise book at home with ease and almost finishes this book.
Articulate, Smart, funny etc. 
her report cards have been very good too.

yet I just got a rejection letter today.

When I came to USA as a teenager (ESL student), I asked the school counselor at Mark Twain Middle School to put me into the GT courses after completed ESL. I did well. I didn't take any of these COGAT and NAT tests like my 9 years old dtr. She knows so much more than me when I was at her age and her reading is superior.

Anyway, oh well, I don't care anymore and don't want to appeal/ fight this stupid / unfair AAP thing.

I guess if my English and reading were poor back then and I managed to get into UVA and my counselor even suggested that I should had applied for Princeton that she honestly believe I could get in (she said Harvard and Stanford are tricky because one one could never predict what they do).

So be it..... I let my dtr enjoys her childhood and learns what she can (more) from at the comfort of her home :)

I will push her once she reaches middle school and definitely more so starting her 9th grade, that's when it counts (more or less) :)

You should appeal. What was your DD GBRS? Something seems off. Did your DD gave Cogat again? If so, check the submitted score with AART, earlier in a this forum, I read one parent got rejection however she found out that old Cogat score was submitted by verifying the submitted file. Could it be the case?

Keep positive attitude, calling AAP stupid or downplaying its role upon rejection will not help![/quote]
