Also some friends told us not to bother with this programme, they don't accept much Latinos.
The information on how to appeal should be on the letter you received. I don't have a copy in front of me right now, but it should include the site address which explains the process.
Good luck to you!

Insane! Those are such good scores. Do you know the GBRS??? Screening file should have indicated that English was not the first language.
This is what prepping does. Not saying the scores were prepped, but the high scores with lower GBRS indicates prep.
We didn't know about the APP programme until after the test. We came to US 2 years ago from South America. A friend told me to go on this site for information and FAQs. I don't know what GBRS is and I didn't know that our child had to prepare for that. We know our child is very intelligent, learned English fast and very good playing music instruments and chess.
I would appeal and make it clear that your child just learned English over the last couple of years and that English is HER second language, not just that her parents speak a different language. Include the info about chess and musical instruments also. Her scores are really high, especially if no prepping was involved. Also, you don't have to prep for GBRS, that's a score the teacher gives, the prepping reference was regarding the tests.

Well I can answer this one with certainty, since I received both a blue (for my rising 3rd grader) and a yellow (for my rising 4th grader) acceptance letter today. The blue letter has the option of center or LLIV and the yellow letter just gives the center as the option. Maybe that's the difference.
So that must be why my letter was blue (my DC does have the option of Local Level IV at base school or movement to the Center at a different school). So Ms. Smarty Pants who jumped to the "troll" conclusion can apologize now.
