I say APPEAL to everyone whose kid was in the pool and not accepted. I know I am appealing...98 on the NNAT, and 11 GBRS, 64 FxAT, and all 4s, with only two 3s on report card. What gives?

what is the nnat that corresponds to 98 on nnat?

I think it was 134.

? no one expects anyone to ID themselves. She made a claim and suggested the error made a difference in the outcome, but on further examination it seems unlikely.
What would be a "an oversight on the order of race?" Gender? That wouldn't not make any difference. Just ask them to correct it.

I started out wanting to be helpful, but that's not possible without knowing the nature of the alleged error(s).

I no longer care, so that's my last post on this.

My DC applied two years ago with a pool-worthy NNAT and lower CogAT (pre-FxAT) that fell around 120 (which then corresponded to something like 87% national percentile and had GBRS of 12. Denied. We went to Dr. Dahlgren for a WISC, and she told us that the committee is most focused on the CogAT unless your child speaks another language as their first language at home. She said for the non-ESOL child, it's much harder to get in with high NNAT/low CogAT than high CogAT/low NNAT. Just the way it is. I would imagine that's even more true now with the newfangled FxAT. My DC got in on appeal BTW with a full scale WISC of 129, but that was in the "good old days."

PS for PP: Her NNAT was 130 (just made it into the pool with that one).

Excellent! Good to be rid of you. I can think of many reasons the poster does not want to ID the error. I've thought all along it may have been an LD. But it's her child's personal information, and if she plans to bring it up with the AART, posting it here first could definitely ID her to the ART (they do read these and even post themselves sometimes).

I think my curiosity about the "error" poster stems from the fact that all the posts and hints have me wondering if the "error" is just that the committee doesnt believe the child is gifted and the parent does.

I guess we will never know what the error is, but I will be waiting to see the outcome.

the poster keeps saying they were "significant" but won't say what they are, so I say it didn't happen.

I'm with you. This is silly.

please do come back when all is said and done with details so when (you know it's not a matter of 'if' but 'when') it happens to another child's file you could show your support to the parent facing the same problem like you did. i hope you'll be holding nothing back then.

If a parent felt some info is incorrect in her DC's file, she is entitled to feel that way. She does not need to let us know what is not correct. Common people, most of the kids being rejected are in pool kids. They have qualified one test or another or both...
