[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im not on any committee to choose who gets in and who doesnt but we did just have our DD get selected for AAP.  My guess is what seems mostly overlooked on this board is whether or not the parents of kids who were automatically in the pool submitted the extra work samples and filled out the questionaire.  The selection committee probably puts a lot of weight on this with the mindset that the parents are committed are cared enough about it to take the time to put the package together.  Yes its optional but those who dont are directly competing with those who did and it does say a lot.  So if your child gets good grades and did well on the tests but did not get in, you should not necessarily point the finger at the school or the process but at yourselves.    [/quote]

This is true.    We did not submit extra work samples (DD's teacher said that she had plenty to work with and mentioned a speech DD wrote that I was floored by....).    However,  I was asked to submit a parent questionnaire.    It was important that they hear from ME apparently.     Since what I said was backed up by the test scores, grades, GBRS and report cards.....dd was accepted.  [/quote]
