However, my experience this year with my daughter is different - NNAT was 122, but school gave highest GBRS and comments recommending for Level IV. She did NOT get in though. So, looks like low NNAT score was a determining factor regardless of school's recommendation. I read posts from parents here with similar or lower scores, and their kids got it. So, I came to conclusion that it all depends on who looks at the file and the # of kids applying from a particular school in that particular year. Not sure what to do next for my daughter. [/quote]

You're correct.  Your DD's file was reviewed by a harsher panel than many of the others.  A lot of getting accepted is a random luck of the draw.  What you should do is appeal with a letter and new work samples.  Emphasize that your DD's teachers who've worked with her all year strongly believe that she belongs in AAP.  It should be easier for you to articulate why your DD needs to be in AAP, since you already have a kid there.  Describe some of the things your son has done in AAP and how your DD needs access to those same opportunities.  The main thing you're hoping for with an appeal is that you'll have a different panel reviewing your child's file.    [/quote]

Really appreciate your suggestion - thank you! Will do exactly that![/quote]
