[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The iq rest is free at GMU for low income families who qualify for free or reduced price lunch. Have you seen low income ppl w/o smart phones? I haven't. The biggest issue in low income schools is lack of parent involvement. [/quote]

What do smart phones have to do with this?

Also, the stats are about minority appeals. Not low income appeals. You seem to have conflated the two in your mind. [/quote]

They have the information at their fingertips. I have personally learned so much online about this process, and anyone can too.

Unfortunately most Hispanics and Blacks are also low income. That's the connection.

Asians are also minorities, but I don't think the OP was concerned with their acceptance/appeal acceptance rates.

To blame parents that do their due dilligence because other parents maybe discouraged to do so is preposterous. [/quote]

Is the author Asian?  Note they lump all Asians together.  Breakdown on white and Asian sub categories?  Note TJ new class was over 70% Asian.  Why lump Hispanics together from anchor babies to unaccompanied minors?

Years ago FCPS used cogat and Otis lennon-then flipped to naglieri for equity.  Re administered the test to all 3rd graders to get more URM.  4rth grade had a huge movement of white and Asian to GT/AAP.  Back fired and made huge capacity issues.

Over 30% at some schools base populations qualify for AAP.  Young scholars does more than I ever did with my children.  Decades later the AAP program is out of control from it's original.  [/quote]
