Cogat composite 132 NNAT 135 GBRS unknown (but she is the quiet insightful type, not one to show off her abilities) accepted |
Gbrs is weighted high. |

Cogat 145 , NNAT 127 , Accepted 2 yrs ago . ( GBRS no clue)
Cogat 136 ( composite) , NNAT 157 , GBRS no clue .. waiting for decision. |
|
Two years ago....
COGAT scores all 122-124, NNAT 150, GBRS no clue....accepted first round. We had a WISC available (for other reasons), but did not need to appeal. |
|
Waiting with the following:
Cogat Cumulative: 132 NNAT: 137 GBRS, No Clue: But many positive comments to me from staff and dc's teachers. We'll just have to see. I'm sure we all have our "Plan B" (appeal process) tee'd up just in case. |
|
No clue on exact test scores, but I seem to recall a 98% or 99% percentile. GBRS was 13.
He got into the program with no problem. and while his grades are good and he is keeping up with the concepts, he is struggling to keep organized and get stuff done. I suspect that he would have had that problem regardless of the program or not, though. |
| Original poster here. You guys are fantastic (and so too are your kids)! Thank you for sharing the data points (exactly what I was looking for). Once this year's decisions are mailed, I hope we'll all post our scores/decisions (anonomously of course) for the parents of next year's second grade pool. In the meantime, keep posting those scores! Thanks again! |

| Does anyone ever just accept, "Hey, my kid might not be gifted?" |
yeah, but I don't think they post here.
|
| ha ha so true |
This becomes vicious cycle where parents other kids who are not gifted but "worm" their way into aap, it makes others say "hey, why not my kid, too?". Its becoming an arms race with mutually assured destruction. |
I think this is true. I'll be honest, though, now that I've had a child at the center, I'll move heaven and hell to get my next one in. It is head and shoulders above our base school. Why do only the gifted kids get experiential learning while everyone else is stuck memorizing? My GT kid loves it and her classes are engaging, interesting and challenging. It's nothing like last year at the base school. |

This is whats wrong with the gt program....parents doing everything they can to worm their way in even though their kids don't belong in an accelerated environment....just dumbs it down for everyone else
