The selection committee actually care about this stuff.
+1. If you think about it, AAP is school work. Good work samples show your kid can handle the work. Parents should be thinking about the AAP packet like a private school application portfolio. But instead this board obsesses over minimum CogAT cut scores.

Or better if work samples related to science and math
Our AART has said over the past 4 years with 3 applications I've done that you want something language arts focused and something math focused, and if you have extra space then science.

Definitely appeal. Just submit new work samples and write a letter.

Ask for the HOPE score and submit work samples that reflect some of the things they were dinged on.

Someone probably doesn’t like your kid and gave them bad hope scores.

I have 2 kids in AAP. One was accepted and second child was rejected. I had to appeal and he got accepted. I basically wrote my own essay on him like I was applying for AAP and he submitted new work products. The work products submitted from school were sloppy and I don’t know if it was in error but the school has submitted some random math worksheet where he got a question wrong. We had not submitted any work products for the first round.
Same exactly. I wrote a letter and submitted new work samples (I had submitted some others initially but they weren’t very good, and the school didn’t submit good samples). Make sure there is a good writing sample.

Ask for the submission and look at the HOPE scores.
