[quote=Anonymous]Hi,

I got a letter that my son got into the screening pool.  I referred to certain instances of people telling me that their kid got high scores and yet they dint get into the level IV program to my friend ( who was a FCPS elementary teacher).  she said honestly, we would want to make it look that it is all an overall count of school work, GBRS etc .  But we can't definitely deny a kid with such high scores.  Most parents think that its a shame that their kid did not make it to the pool and they convince poeple that the school referral is the reason.  But It is not entirely true.  Even with a kid with low scores get it if the kid is found to have the potential to think outside the box.  But never a kid with high scores was denied.

I am not sure who to trust at this point.  I can say for sure what is going on only if I was in the screening committee.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder when they will post the cutoff, since they already have the "pool."  Got both CogAT and NNAT scores today. Both well over the usual 130s cutoff for the screening pool (scores over 139). However, I have not rec'd a letter about the screening pool.  [/quote]

It will likely by around 130.  However, 130+ scores (even 140+ scores) do not guarantee AAP Center eligibility.  The Central Selection Committee looks at the entire package.  I know of several students with 140+ scores that were not found Center eligible in the past two years.[/quote]

Yes, I already have another child in 4th grade AAP, so I am aware of the process . . .[/quote][/quote]
