Sure, 2nd grade : October 2017 NNAT - 99 percentile COGAT- V- 88, Q-99, NV-99, C- 99 Composite- 139 Result - Rejected, we thought less score in verbal could have been a reason Appeal January 2018: WISC - 99 percentile Result - Rejected, we thought private psychologist instead of GMU was the reason 3rd grade : January 2019 NNAT - 99 percentile COGAT- V- 99, Q-99, NV-99, C- 99 Composite- 153 Result - Rejected, we couldn’t imagine any reason. I had come to this forum and many where supportive and giving me hope and options while few didn’t believe a kid can be found ineligible with this score Appeal May 2019: WISC - 99.7 percentile (GMU) Result - Rejected, so our theory of private psychologist vs GMU seem to be incorrect too. 4th grade : January 2020 Same COGAT and WISC as previous year, didn’t write any tests this year. COGAT- V- 99, Q-99, NV-99, C- 99 Composite- 153 WISC - 99.7 percentile (GMU) Result - Selected. What we did differently this time around, * I too thought if scores are good then no need for worksheets and didn’t pay much attention last 2 years. Not true. * For Math- I selected school tests and worksheets that clearly showed the steps ( rough work) to get to the answers preferably teachers corrected * For language- one school project with a painting and explanation like storm or earthquake and one essay on general topic like global warming. Essay was basic with what goes through in kids mind. * Didn’t add any other worksheets like painting * Added certificates from school and extra curricular activities * Most importantly did not add any photos of the kid with trophies as we did by mistake the previous year. * In the summary sheet, just listed how the kid is ahead in subjects and other activities in short few sentences I know how we were looking for answers last year around, hence this post. Rejection did not bothered us but not knowing the reason did. Hope this post helps someone. |
