[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how much more transparent can it be.  my goodness every possible opportunity is given to kids to get in... if they are qualified.[/quote]

It looks like kids get in who aren't that qualified either - their parents just know what they need to do.[/quote]

This is AAP in a nutshell![/quote]

Life is like that.  As adults (some of us anyway) we can work hard and not rely on luck, fairness, or the competence of bureaucrats. We can make our own successes.  As parents our kids can't so we do whatever we can to help them on the path of a good life. It's what my parents did for me, thankfully.  For the rest, good luck!

I spoke to a mom this weekend whose kid was not accepted.  I was surprised because this kid is smart and motivated. Asked her if she was had appealed the decision. She said no, the committee had spoken and that was good enough for her.  An amazing breath of fresh air after reading this board for awhile now- can you imagine someone actually willing to take no for an answer?  [b]I believe this kid will do very well in life and may wind up doing better than many who got in. [/b][/quote]

I don't doubt this at all -- I'm sure its true.
But, that is not the question.  The question is, would [i]this[/i] kid fare better down the road having had the AAP program, vs not?
We're not comparing 2 different kids -- compare the same kid in 2 different environments.

Its a judgement call.  And there is no right answer.

:?: But why appeal if they will do just as well without it? Bragging rights?[/quote]
