[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was pretty involved in AAP at a Center and with FCAG (and now at TJ). I also have a friend who does psychoeducational testing, including AAP appeals) for a living. She says, and what I have seen backs this up, that she thinks 50% is about right. I saw a high 40s number through FCAG a few years ago.

But almost all of the 50% who get in on appeal have parents who appeal with an iQ test 130 or higher (with the 130 vs 136 being dependent on the strength of the underlying packet). One of ,y kids was very borderline, appealed with a 134 (? I think) and was admitted. Several kids her year appealed with new work samples, etc and were not.

The only other place an appeal would matter is if something strange happened— like undiagnosed LDs, again— caught on testing.

So in the end, the what % get in tell you nothing about your particular kids chances.  What matters of of you submitted an IQ test. And if the number was above 130. That’s it. [/quote]

There are people on other threads that claim they were accepted on appeal with a letter and work samples only (but usually already had a high CogAT).[/quote]
