If the work samples are the most important part of the file, they should let people know and make them mandatory. Since the test scores are required and everything else is optional, reasonable parents conclude that test scores, reading level, report cards are the information the decision is based on.[/quote]

At the AAP info session, the AART strongly recommended that everyone submit the questionnaire, work samples, letters of recommendation, and anything else they might have.  There were even a bunch of slides illustrating what makes a good work sample vs. a poor one for the purposes of AAP selection.

The whole thing is absurd, though.  AAP is only mildly accelerated.  Obviously, a kid with 99th percentile test scores, high reading level, and good grades will be fine in AAP.  The kids with the lower scores who are being admitted holistically are the ones slowing down the class for everyone else.  [/quote]

Op here. My child had 99th percentile scores, advanced reader, advanced math and gets all 4s on his report card. He is a quiet kid so isn’t the type of child who raises his hand in class. I don’t have his gbrs but I’m going to assume he received occasionally remarks instead of consistently.[/quote]
