[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi - I am trying to make sense of my DS's rejection for AAP. I submitted an application for my 2nd grader who is currently attending a private school (he was in FCPS for 1st grade, we moved him for 2nd). WISC score was a 126, 4 COs on the GBRS, top of the class grades for the last 2 years or report cards that we submitted. The teacher wrote in the recommendation letter that he is currently excelling at 3-5th grade level of schoolwork in all subjects, not just math and that he is naturally curious, loves learning and is emotionally mature when interacting with his peers. I am assuming that I used poor work examples from his classwork and that the parent letter I submitted worked against him somehow? I'm confused and at a loss. Any thoughts would be appreciated.[/quote]

Did he get good score for NNAT in 1st grade?  His WISC is good but not 130.  WISC 130 = 98 percentile.[/quote]

He got a 119 on the 1st grade test. [/quote]

None of his test scores hit the 132 in pool cut off. Grades really are not that important in the process. No idea about the work samples. Did his Teacher provide you with any work samples?

There is a belief that it is harder to get into AAP through Private Schools, but I don't think we have seen any numbers to prove this. One comment that I have seen is that the committee is less likely to trust the GBRSs from the Private School because the Teachers are not trained on how to apply the GBRSs and they are less likely done by a committee.
