[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the general percentile score that makes people eligible? Eg. Are they looking for 80th percentile or 90th percentile IQ?[/quote]
They're not really looking for any specific IQ.  They're looking for classroom behavior that suggests the kid would do well in AAP.  Some kids with an IQ around 115 are admitted.  Some with IQ around 140 get rejected.  [/quote]

It's a behavioral program?[/quote]

Yes, it's not a real gifted program. Look at what HOPE measures. They rely on teacher evaluations instead of IQ scores. It's ludicrous and not defensible.[/quote]
It’s not designed for the profoundly gifted. It’s an accelerated program. Based on both my kids, it doesn’t seem that the HOPE score had a significant impact. Both kids got in with high test scores (NGAT for one, CogAT for the other and NNAT plus standardized tests for the other), excellent grades, and good work samples. One kid had excellent teacher ratings. Other kid did not. That kid still got in. For some kids, HOPE might be more of a deciding factor but not for all kids.[/quote]
I meant high NNAT and standardized test scores for both kids. Not the “other”[/quote]
