[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  [b]We are in the same boat as OP.[/b]  My DD received 99 percentile on Nnat, 99 percentile on COGAT and 99 percentile on WISC. Grbs of 15.  We showed well rounded athletic abilities as she is involved on multiple sports, piano etc.. creative writing, language and math samples.  We also applied from private school.  I called my local aap and was told they dont know what happened, they dont make decisions.

OP what is your AAP school?
[b]
Other kids got in with lower scores from my school.  [/b]My school administator called the main ASP administrator and was told scores and[b] selections are based on which ES you are applying to.  [b]Some schools are very over crowded.[/b] [/b] They listed my school as being one of the ones they are cutting slots on this year along with a few others.  [/quote]

That sounds like utter nonsense.  The point of the program is to provide services to gifted children.  They can't provide those services to some and not to others, because there is no space in a particular school.  Find a way to challenge this.[/quote]

This is second case similar to OP. We have two posters reporting their child did not get admission to AAP with 99 percentile on NNAT, 99 percentile on COGAT, 99 percentile on WISC and GBRS of 15!!

The reasoning about limited space in school is so lame! FCPS second grader files (in-pool +parent referrals) is not yet gone to central committee for review, [b]which means the only applicants were from private school for starting AAP in 3rd grade[/b] and they can't be 1000's applying! 
How did administrator decided that some schools are over-crowded if they don't know how many applicants are there for second grade (they would know in-pool but not parent referral) and potentially could get qualify for AAP admission!

I have heard from central school AART resource that AAP has no space limitation, they will open new class if needed.

Something doesn't add up!!
