Your child us a classic case of a high achiever who does not need AAP but will likely get in because the program is so bloated.

I've seen posts on this forum with 16 GBRS and not getting in.


With scores in the 129-130 range? No way.

I am hopeful.


My child got a 16 GBRS and got in, but was in the pool.

Good thing it's so subjective then.

It's one of the FCPS. I did submit work samples.

Did you submit work samples? I think you're chances are good but would have been better with work samples.

If I had to guess, I'd say you would get in. GBRS seems to be KING ( and 16 is the best you can get) and you have almost pool scores on CogAT.

Total guess, but I'm thinking you have a good shot at it. In general, it appears that the committee likes to see at least 2 data points confirming a "need" for AAP. The GBRS is great, obviously, and I have to believe that is given a lot of weight. Far from a long shot, but not a slam dunk, either.
