[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a LOT of discrepancies. Maybe, if the AAP board actually clarified what holistic meant and how much they weigh various factors, so many of us would not be questioning... Also, here is a suggestion for the appeal board. Maybe even interview the kids? See how well the communicate! That should be part of a holistic process, no? [/quote]

There isn't some magical formula.  It's not like they have some sort of scale or point system for each score or each bit of evidence.  It really is a panel of people who individually read your child's file and then decide whether they feel that your child should be in AAP or not.  It's completely subjective, and they could be persuaded to let in kids with lower stats if the parents make a compelling argument as to why the kid needs AAP.  It's also why they can't give answers now as to why any individual kids are rejected.  They don't have some paper in the file saying "Rejected - GBRS too low" or "Rejected - kid probably prepped" or whatever.  The only thing they know is that the majority of the people on your child's review panel read the file and decided that they didn't feel like your kid needed AAP.  [/quote]
