It's hard to know who is right.  The report doesn't explain the methodology and data tables well.  [/quote]
Anyone with an iota of common sense recognizes that many kids get in who are "below threshold."  PP honestly thinks that kids getting in with scores below 132 are quite rare.  Just by sheer math, only 1400 kids are in pool, but 2200 get into AAP in each year.  The PP won't address that point, though, since it doesn't fit her worldview that almost all kids in AAP have top 2% scores on the CogAT.  [/quote]

I think the issue is that the PP is a hurt mom/dad whose kid may have been one of the ones with a 140+ WISC and then got rejected.  That person has been on this and several other threads trying to make sense of it.  It doesn't make sense though.  With that score, the kid should have found a seat in AAP.  Who knows what happened with the Central Committee this year.  Maybe it's an anomaly.  [/quote]

I assumed that PP was the strongly pro-equity poster who is trying to create some false narrative that almost all children of all races who get in have gifted level test scores.  And thus, excluding Asian or white kids with 140 WISCs is no big deal because all of the kids who got in were somehow above and beyond.  Or it's someone with kids in the system who needs to believe that AAP is much more special than it is.  [/quote]
