[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think anything is inexplicable.  Just like job interviews and college applications, lesser qualified people are often picked over more qualified applicants.  Kids with lower scores who got in had something compelling in their packet that made the committee like them or want to give them a chance.  Kids with high scores who were rejected had something off-putting in their files.  None of us will ever know the reason,[b] but there was something in that file that caused a bunch of panel members to vote NO.[/b]

The AART warned people at the info session not to suggest that their kids were bored and not to come across as arrogant.  [/quote]

It's an  advanced academics program, not a popularity contest. If a child has high test scores + report card 4s + high reading level....what are all these people seeing that makes them think "this child should be in advanced academics?" Seriously, some vague suspicion of "test prep"?

People include pictures of their children doing various things. Are better-looking children more likely to get the benefit of the doubt? Studies have shown that teachers prefer "cuter" kids. [/quote]
