[quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand what the committee is looking at when they reject kids with high test scores and high GBRS.

The work samples?  As far as I can tell, both the selection of the work samples and their quality is largely a product of a kid’s teacher.  Teachers who insist on quality work, retain that work, and put time into selecting a sample are going to deliver a much better sample for their kids.  We have had some teachers under which our kids have done beautiful writing work and others under which the same kids have written total crap.

The teacher comments?  Again, this is largely a function of how much effort the teacher is willing to put in to the application process and whether or not they take the time to get to know their students.  If the kids had a high GBRS, obviously the teacher likes them and thinks they will succeed in AAP regardless of the specifics of their commentary.

It’s crazy to make the process so dependent on a kid’s teacher when you already have multiple objective data points that demonstrate  a kid is a good fit. [/quote]
