[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My experience with my two children is that the selection process is necessarily arbitrary because there are many more students who meet the so-called objective criteria -- grades, test scores, recommendations -- than there are spots available in the program or in the waitpool. For instance, my older child meet all of the criteria and was admitted, but two years letter, my younger child, who exceeded the admissions criteria (above median test scores and a perfect report card -- all Os, As, and Is -- was denied admission). But two years later, younger child was accepted at both Eastern and TP, while older child -- who attended and excelled in HGC program -- was denied placement at one and waitlisted at the other (after Level I appeal but never offered an actual seat). [/quote] This just kills me. We have had similar experiences.[/quote]
