[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I told myself when my daughter applied was that if she didn't get in, it could easily have to do with the competition and how good they were, not how good she was.  And, they also told us during the informations session about the program (this was 2011) that how many kids they pick from each elementary depends on a number of different factors that have nothing to do with the candidates - [b]like they won't take so many kids from a school that it will cause that grade to lose a classroom the next year[/b].

So, it might not be about your individual child.  And if you truly think they have the wrong idea of your kid, appeal.  It might make your kid's application float to the top of the wait pool if you can argue why their needs can't be met in the home school.[/quote]

I hadn't thought about that.  My DDs 3rd grade class as a whole is very small. Right now they have 3 very small classes, if a couple leave they may not have the numbers to continue to support the need for three classrooms.  Ugh.   One more crazy thing to think about.[/quote]
