I already referred. Our AART sent me an email that she received our referral.

It was an email from AAP.

I have two older kids. One received an envelope from school and I’m almost certain the other kid got mail. Both before Covid.

At least once a day on this platform, a poster is guiding another to articulate why their student can’t get what they need in genEd to justify why they need AAP. This just provides one more data point to game the system. (I’m not saying that’s always a disingenuous argument, but I think we can all agree that AAP admissions has become a little bit about how well parents can construct a packet or make a compelling argument vs. purely the academic potential of a student.)
Let the scores speak for themselves and then use the referral packet to independently provide supplemental info.


Likely depends on the Independant group assembed thats looking at the packet, but an argument that "my child got a 140 COGAT" is a waste of space when they can see your child has a 140 COGAT. I will certainly say that having the sub-scores might be an advantage as to how you focus your emphasis or work samples. For example, better work samples in the "weaker" area to counter the lower score. But this is really appeal level of strategizing.
