[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anecdotally, last year there was a DCUM thread where several people said that their kid got a CogAT score of 99% and was not accepted. There is a chance your DC won’t be accepted, but most likely if they have good work samples and a good teacher recommendation, they will be in. [/quote]

Thats what I'm worried about.[/quote]

Why the worry with high scores? You can always see your application packet and appeal the decision.[/quote]

Appealing is an additional step that probably everyone who is interested in their child getting into AAP wants to avoid.

I am not worried, DS will be fine at his base school. I know that not everyone can say that because there is no real equality in the schools. Some schools don't have advanced math until fifth grade, some schools send advanced math kids to the AAP class for math, some schools have a once a week pull out for advanced math and worksheets.

If you have a smart kid or a hard working kid who is not being challenged and you are at a school without advanced math until later or more limited advanced math, it is likely that you want your kid in AAP and you worry more.

Our base school is a very good school and we will supplement if we think that we need to. I would prefer for DS to be in AAP and have that as an option then to have to hope that the advanced math pull outs happen and that he is far more challenged then he currently is.[/quote]
