Do you think this WISC-V score is good enough for FCPS AAP?

The process is holistic. Any kid with scores in the 120s has a chance to be admitted with a strong packet. Likewise, any kid with scores above 130 could be rejected if the rest of the packet is weak.

Denied first round with a SB 131. Appealed with a WISC (141) and got in. GBRS=9

I don't think a 126 would particularly help a child, especially if it's about the same or below Cogat/NNAT scores (If the composite is higher than either of those, I'd put it in though). Otherwise I would focus on creativity in work samples and parental report.

I know that this is just one datapoint and that decisions are based on many things. But assuming that the rest of her application package is strong and that her teachers will rate her well, do you think that this WISC score is good enough for AAP? I thought I remembered reading somewhere that they like to see a WISC above 128.

She's coming from a private school, and so our application deadline is early next week.

Thank you.

My DD was denied with a WISC-V score of 133. She has a 11 GBRS when 16 was the top. She scored in 120s on CogAT and NNAT. So, who knows. We appealed with a SB where she got a 145 and she got in on appeal.

What is a "SB?"

Not the PP but guessing Stanford-Binet
