[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]

With those scores, the kid belongs in AAP for sure.  Child may or may not be gifted, but is definitely advanced.  Maybe this child would have been accepted last year with those high scores.  But this year, they seem to have put heavier weighting on other things.  Maybe his GBRS was lower, report card wasn't reflective of his capability and given poor work samples, they might have marked ineligible, thinking that kid will appeal with WISC.  Very baffling.

They have never seemed to base anything on report cards before. Most kids have all 4s and with the canned comments, they are meaningless.[/quote]
