DC is an out of the box, divergent thinker with a 99 olsat. I am worried that such creativity will not be recognized anywhere but anderson. will my kid have a chancee at LL, or is he doomed? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

the kid is just a genius. so creative. writes stories/creates complicated board & computer games on his own/, figures out how everyone feels before they do, cannot be manipulated by his fairly intelligent mother...sees right through it...and has the verbal ability of a college professor.

I think they are still firing a lot faster than most of the other posters around here ;-) You would have gotten bonus points, however, if you could have worked in his 40/40 score and the fact that you know LL will be inferior because of all the 90 scoring siblings. [ Reply | More

what was dc's sb score? have you talked to donna at anderson? she's apparently working on a plan to ensure divergent 99s get a spot. the problem is that even though you're a high 99, it's rumored to be a lottery within percentiles, so without help from donna, you're not a shoo-in. you're in d2 , which is good, especially if you live downtown and your zoned school is 234 or 41. though i hear 41 has made 3 it's dumping ground, so if that's your zone, who knows! oh, and nest, though i hear the principal is a nut and that k kids have four hours of homework a night. if all else fails, there's tag, and i assume you ranked the chinatown schools? it's always good to rank a school even if you don't wind up taking it. some people complain those schools aren't aren't diverse, but they are obviously racists. gl!!!!

Both Marci and Donna at Anderson made it clear that there is NO WAY to create a strategy or rig the system. That there was an element of luck in when the application is picked within our child's percentile score and to be sure we ranked our choices in the order we wanted them and not relative to anyone else's application. There is no further testing for anything anymore. [ Reply | More
