The only pattern would be that they flipped the results  :lol: [/quote]

Seriously, give it a rest.    A SMALL subsection (about 40 out of hundreds posted their score)  of the AAP population posts in this board.  And to extrapolate that the scores were flipped is crazy.   Of course, people who got in that did not except to would post. And, those that with high scores that did not get in would post.    But I am sure there are many, many,  more people out there that got the results they were expected and do not feel the need to post their scores.   [/quote]

Let's assume the pp is correct and only a small subsection of the scores had results similar to those posted here.  Even if that's the case, don't you think this albeit small sampling (assuming the posts are truthful) shows a need for more transparency in the process.  Some of the scores were incredibly low.  If your child legitimately had high scores with no prepping and was rejected, while the low scores listed here were found eligible, are you saying you would not want more transparency as to why this happened?  Maybe the letters weren't flipped, but the process needs more transparency.  Alternatively, maybe there needs to be two ways to get in: 1. scores and 2. scores plus teacher recommendations.  If FCPS is going to say scores are indicative of eligibility, a teacher shouldn't be able to override that, nor should an assumption of prepping if the GBRS commentary doesn't match the test scores.  Having an objective admissions standard for automatically admitting students, and also allowing other student to get in based on a combination of scores and GBRS seems like a better process.  I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the concerns expressed her merely because they only account for a minority of applicants.  You also have no clue whether this extrapolates into the general pool.[/quote]
