[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think it's the other way around. The "holistic approach" is needed because so many people prep for a test that was never a highly respected or reliable test in the first place. The committee simply cannot trust the numbers.[/quote] The bar is so low for the "holistic approach," though. I would expect any above average UMC kid with motivated parents to seem very advanced to their 2nd grade teachers, get a high GBRS, and get test scores in the 120s, especially with a little bit of prep. Those kids are getting into AAP. Work samples and teacher reviews would be fine if they were looking for kids who are extraordinary and not generically bright UMC kids. The entire system is broken now, considering that there are other threads with parents moaning about their kids having sub-120 WISC scores and getting tips on how to shoehorn those kids into AAP anyway.
