Just anxiety - please confirm that if your kid is in pool you have till early January for the samples and parent forms, right? Is there any difference when to submit those?

It's easier to get 99 percentile on MAP than being in-pool for universal screening. So most likely all in pool kids are 99 percentile in MAP.

99 percent could be a big range. What are the original score?

251 score.

Here's a question--if you parent refer, and your kid also makes it in-pool, is the parent referral letter still read/considered?

Those who are in pool
Are NOT automatically accepted. My son was in pool. Many of his friends too. Did NOT

I understand that.

The conventional wisdom of 10 years ago was that around 2/3 of the in pool kids and around 1/2 of the parent referrals were admitted. I doubt this has changed much. The AAP equity report showed that the GBRS score was much more significant than any test scores for AAP eligibility. The same is likely true for the HOPE.

Wonder what their math is regarding those universal screeners who also submitted parent referrals.

Huh? In the report, the parent referrals were kids who were not in pool. Probably most of the in-pool kids also had parents fill out the referral materials. They're still considered in pool and not parent referrals.

The report probably had two options, in-pool and referred but there are plenty of kids who are in-pool whose parents include the parent questionnaire and their own work samples. We did that 5 years ago for our son when he was in pool. It gives the committee some additional information about your kid and what the parents are seeing at home.

Well, obviously. The PP seemed confused that there were just "in-pool" and "parent referred" categories, and not a "both in pool and parent referred" category. Kids who are in pool are considered that way regardless of whether the parents also fill out a referral form. I would imagine that almost every in-pool packet has a parent referral and questionnaire included.

I don't think that's true. AAP students are not all 99% in math, and the ones that aren't, can't all be parent referred.

It's also completely irrelevant. If pp's kid scored a 99% in MAP, and she believes her kid belongs in AAP, she should parent refer and provide strong samples. Whether other kids score higher or slightly lower than hers in MAP doesn't matter.

GBRS and our parent packet got our kid into AAP. She was nowhere near being in-pool.
