Thanks! Do you have this information because you were on the screening committee, or did fcps publish the WISC appeal score cut off somewhere?

Just curious where this information it coming from. You seem so assured that I can only assume you have an in or official data to back up the information.

Less than 2% of the pop has WISC 132+ Does not need to be that high to get in. Good luck.

I am not an insider, just a parent who had a child on appeal that year. There is a monster thread where appealers posted their kids' scores and appeal results (the thread is nearly 100 pages long and is still here somewhere), and someone assembled all the data and we could all see how the results trended that year. Not exactly scientific, but we had a pretty good sample and that was the conclusion we all took away.
