A majority of students in AAP Centers in 8th grade do not become students at TJ.[/quote]

But a majority of students at TJ attended AAP Centers.[/quote]
I think the ratio of acceptance is 1:3 in AAP as compared to 1:10 or 1:15 in non-AAP.
So, worth a try to get into AAP.[/quote]

Is it AAP that increases the chance of getting in TJ or the fact that the type of students in an AAP Center is more likely to get into TJ?  I think most of the students in AAP that get into TJ had a high chance of getting in regardless of whether they attended an AAP center or stayed in their home school.  The stand out student will be a stand out student where ever he/she attends.[/quote]

Sometimes it is hard to stand out in a gen ed for these kids. A boy in our base school was referred for disability screening and speech therapy in first grade. He received very high scores for COGAT but did not receive good teacher's ratings. At AAP, the same behaviors became NO ISSUE for the AAP teacher. He got 600 for English and Social studies SOL and near 600 for math.  [/quote]
