Correction: #chooseGATEtoIVCtoUCI
Actually, you don't choose GATE, IUSD applies the criteria to all students and notifies you once your child meets them.
For APAAS, you actually have to apply and I don't think they do this anymore, but there is another test to take.
APAAS is a different program where your kid attends 1 of 6 schools where ALL the kids in the class are on the APAAS track.
For GATE, I think it's in every school and GATE and non-GATE kids are in the same class but may be given different curriculum.
You probably already know all of this but I feel this might give some insight to zubs.
