I personally wouldn’t submit a WISC lower than Cogat, unless it was 98/99%. Are those iready scores from the original packet (fall scores)? I would submit updated scores, if they’re better.

Your child is going to land in Advanced Math. The WiSC score is not going to help you with LIV, it is lower then the CoGAT and NNAT scores. The iReady score for reading is going to keep your kid in the regular classroom but the math iReady will likely land you in Advanced Math.

I lean no on the WISC since lower than NNAT and COGAT.

What's up with the reading iready score? Can that be explained in any way?

Based on your test scores I would say don't bother submitting. Your kid will struggle in AAP. There are kids in the 140's who don't get in. What makes your child special?

Don't be ridiculous. Many kids in AAP have lower scores than these. OP's kid will be fine.

OP, don't include the WISC. Provide samples and anecdotes that show that your kid can handle the AAP language arts. Explain clearly the gifted traits that your child is displaying and why their needs can't be met in a regular classroom. If your child doesn't get accepted, push for Advanced Math.

A friend, a few years ago appealed and kid was admitted. WISC was (I think) 128, NNAT and CogAT upper 130s. (Can’t remember exactly, but closer to 140 then 135.)

If you use GMU, be careful, some of their examiners hate smart kids and have bias against certain group. Not to elaborate.

If you're unhappy with their diagnosis, just get a different one.
