[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just can't really fathom that people are hardcore gearing up for appeals when results haven't come out yet. I mean, you know your child is not likely to get in, but you are going to insist then get in anyway, without really having a chance to know the alternative? Did you even look into your home MS besides glancing at the kids who walk by at 3pm each day?[/quote]

I'm the PP with kid just scored 296 on winter MAP-M. We are zoned to a W-school and yes, my DC is Asian and is a boy. Of course I did tons of research of home MS as well as TPMS curriculum, and I know the latter fits my DC while the former doesn't. All I did for math enrichment since he was a kindergartner is throwing Beast Academy, and then AOPS pre-algebra and geometry textbooks to him (together with answer books for self-check), and he felt reading them as exciting and enjoyable as reading Captain Underpants or Rick Riordian. Not to mention his achievement in all sorts of math competitions including AMC8. Yet I saw multiple Asian boys with similar metrics and backgrounds got rejected or waitlist in the past two years. Some of them appealed and got in eventually. I think that's a wise choice and that's something I plan to do as well.   [/quote]

If your child has 99% mcps on the cogat he seems like a shoe in. I think that probably carries the most weight.[/quote]
