[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are getting ready to appeal for a 2nd grader, who was in the pool with high test scores including HOPE,  but didn't get in.  
One question  - Would including a recommendation letter for the kid from a coach or a teacher (e.g. Piano teacher) add any value to the appeal?  [/quote]

No. They did away with recommendation letters years ago. New Test scores, work samples, and parent letter are how you need to make your case. [/quote]

I thought you could still submit letters of recommendation.  Where did you see this?[/quote]

they specifically told us not to at the meeting at our school. they don’t want anything from sports or music. they want writing and math samples. [/quote]

While they definitely want writing and math samples, they show things like "Kid made up his own hieroglyphic system and explained it" at the meeting. Some creativity is allowed. And always have your kid add a couple sentences of explanation on work samples.[/quote]
