[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so what does this mean in practical terms?

Depending on the school norm, you can have a kid with a 125 in-pool. If you are in pool, you get an automatic consideration and a file is sent to the committee.

You could also see a child within the new school norming receive a 135 and not be in pool.

If the 135 child has a parent that does a referral, they receive consideration and a file is sent to the committee.

[b]Is the child with the 125 in pool score receiving preferential treatment because they are in pool or are they just getting a head start in case their parent doesn't refer as well.  [/b]

I'm trying to understand the next step to this.

(still waiting for a score, but did not receive in-pool email. DS didn't take the NNAT last year so we're flying blind here.)

The bolded, I think. In fact if the kid with the 125 who is in-pool will be behind the kid with the 135 who isn't both via score and if the 125 kid's parents never fill out the parent stuff, unless the committee sees in-pool vs. not determination. The 135 kid will have a lot more data points PLUS a higher score.

The problem is more the 135 kid whose parents don't pay attention and won't refer. That kid misses out. I know some kids in prior years whose parents were totally blase about the AAP process and would never have referred who got in and flourished thanks to the screening pool.[/quote]
