I hope you get a copy of the GBRS and appeal. This is what confuses me about this process.


+1. I'm one of the PPs from yesterday, trying to figure out whether or not to appeal. The more I read about this, the more bewildered I get.

May I ask the breakdown of the CoGat scores? This is surprising.

That is interesting! I wonder what percent of the admits are non-pool kids.

Congratulations!

No offense, but what was so special about your child, that you child got in despite low test scores. What did you say in the parent questionnaire? What made your child stand out? Did you notice your child's giftedness yourself, or did the AART point it out despite you not understanding.

I'm asking so this can be a lesson learned for my own child, for my child's future, not to be provocative and/or put down your child.


I'm not that parent, but jeez. Someone volunteers information to help out other people in the future and you want her kid's whole life story just because his scores were low. What makes any kid stand out?


Who made you the judge of what's right or wrong. Her information is not helpful the way it is, because it would take extraordinary circumstances to admit s student with those scores to an advanced program. Wanting to know what made this particular child extraordinary is no surprise. She volunteered incomplete information.

There is nothing wrong with showing completeness unless something doesn't add up. You seem to be in the know.


Nope, but you seem really upset about this kid and his test scores.

Seriously?!

I'm sorry your child didn't get in but s/he is clearly beyond smart. I'm sure you know this.


I realize they don't want it be based on only on tests, but it seems so subjective based on this thread
