[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are still misunderstanding and reading into what I said. I never mentioned vast majority of the kids. I mentioned what I know (and that is based on what their parents have told me).  [/quote]

You wrote most of your post based on how “almost every single” kid you know who was admitted, had enrichment. You then wonder whether some kids were admitted this year because of the enrichment and conclude that higher GBRS is based on outside help.

You’re inferring that high GBRS and admissions are based on enrichment. You actually KNOW of few kids who had that enrichment. You’re guessing and making a conclusion based on that guessing. See your last sentence: “So, I think this notion that somehow kids getting higher GBRS are kids working independently, no outside help etc. is completely off.“ [/quote]

You are twisting my words. I have been consistent about the fact that the information is based on what I actually know.  In addition, what I am saying is that the notion that GBRS is an identification of kids working independently and without outside help is completely off.  I am not saying that high GBRS and admissions are based on enrichment.  The two statements are not the same.

This is a thread for providing anecdotal information and sharing what we know. There are many here that are guessing, providing opinions and making statements based on their personal experiences.  All because we are in the dark about why some seemingly deserving kids have not been accepted to the AAP full-time program.  I personally find hearing people’s views very helpful.  I don't have to agree with everything that is said, but it provides a forum in which we can share our thoughts, opinions and ideas as we deal with a frustrating situation.

In any case, this is the last I will respond to you on my comment above. I think it stands on its own. If you don't like it or disagree with it, that is fine. [/quote]
