Since when is "80th to 95th percentile with one subset in the 60s" AVERAGE, for goodness sake? Isn't around the 50th percentile "average" by definition?

Thanks for bragging.

I am surprised that he didn't get in with a 16. Really surprised.

Duh, that is who would respond to this post. Selection bias.

Our AART also said it was rare, but both of my kids got 16 three years apart...so I'm not sure it's quite as rare as she seems to think.

No one here can answer your question, OP. I know my child had a 16 and I got the sense from the AART that it was a rare event.

Hard to say. My one child got a 15, my other got a 12. Both got into the program. The one with a 15 did pretty poorly on the tests, the one with a 12 did great on the tests. They've both performed about the same in the AAP classroom environment, which is quite well.

A lot of the kids who were expected to get in got 15 or 16.

I have no idea how rare it is, but I have 2 sons. One got a 16, one got a 15.

My DD got a 16 last year. I heard only from others it was rare but I know it happens because she got one. How rare or how often it occurs, no clue. Comments were very, very extensive. The GBRS was lengthy and filled with detailed examples that were specific and covered months of time throughout the school year from things that seemed to have occurred from Sept. through Jan.
