[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can they tell the difference between hot housed and normal kids, lol?

My friend's son got in with very low scores but a decent GBRS. Why is he more "deserving" than someone like OP's kid? The whole process is nuts.[/quote]

Idk. This poster here says there was discrepancy between school work samples and home work samples. That probably raised a red flag. 
Other things I would personally look at include whether outside activities are Kahn academy type things or more child led activities such as Odyssey of the Mind.[/quote]

Maybe, but just to play devils advocate....if a kid is amazing at math, there probably won't be any school work samples that will show that, because second grade math is so basic. [/quote]

My kid got a 136 on Cogat Quant. I didn’t submit any math samples because I didn’t think that was needed. I submitted only one work sample myself - which was artwork sent home from art class which was based on a book he read on his own at home.  [/quote]
