[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I'm frankly bewildered by this whole process. According to the AART, my kid's test scores are very high, and she's been consistently among the top 10% in her class since K. She's a motivated learner, loves school, easy going--the whole package. Not only did she get rejected, but it seemed like 99% of her entire class shared the same fate. She asked around and only one kid she knew got in. The AART confirmed that very few kids from the school got in and was at a loss herself. I put together a very strong appeal packet; got rejected again. If FCPS is accepting roughly 20% of the student body into aap, that is not reflected at our school. Are they looking for Einstein-level geniuses?[/quote]

Are you in 2nd right now/rising 3rd? At my kids’ school, 2nd grade is HUGE. The biggest grade by far, bigger than 1st, and much larger than 3-4, which were grades that were both affected by Covid. Not sure if this extends to other schools. But there is a quota for LIV. They say there’s not but there is, simply because there needs to be room for the kids if they choose to attend the centers or stay at their local school. If 2nd is big everywhere, it could be that you’re running up against a soft quota.

Try for Advanced Math if you can because that’s the main differentiator, especially at LLIV schools. Or re-apply again in 3rd for rising 4th, maybe with private testing. [/quote]
