[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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, [b]unless the committee sees in-pool vs. not determination.[/b] 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]

The committee does know if they were in-pool. I have a child that applied a few years ago and when I requested to copy of the referral packet, the front page had a note that said "in-pool".[/quote]

Interesting. I would think given the "equity" focus of this change there will be more pressure to accept kids who are in-pool....[/quote]
