If mine isn't accepted first round, the entire process is a farce. 99th percentile (in-pool by decent margin) CogAT, 99th percentile WISC, above grade level in all subjects on all metrics, good grades, etc.

I would be shocked if she did. Didn’t know that we might be handicapped a bit because of coming into this from private school.

They mail them out first week of April.

That is how I felt last year!

When do we find out the result? beginning or end of April?

But by asking others why they feel confident about their kids' files won't help her feel more confident.

No, because I have no control and anything can happen.

Hopeful too, I also want to ask other moms how they feel about their packets because I don’t really get any input or feedback from teachers and no one in my circle is into AAP. If DC wasn’t in pool, I wouldn’t even care about AAP. I am also curious how much surprise we’re talking about.
Significant numbers of kids accepted or denied out of the ordinary?

If half the energy put into this board was put into gun control, helping everyone access decent health care and getting a clean environment, we'd solve some real problems.

I don’t think anyone can be overly confident even with high scores. Whether it’s true or not, I’ve seen on this board some people posted about their unexpected results of acceptance/denial. Very much guessing game at this point

Just hopeful. Pool based on both tests but don't know GBRS

Do you think if your child will be accepted first round and if so why?
