Congrats but if my child with 130 NNAT and 130 COGAT and 145 WISC doesn't get in- COGAT and NNAT are not IQ tests.

Congrats! It only demonstrates that FCPS is not really geared to the gifted.

Did you submit the WISC when you realized your child wasn't in the pool? What is the GBRS?

Yep. I don't really care what it demonstrates. I don't care if my kid is labeled "gifted" or not. I only know that my child has been bored out of her mind in school. The teachers recognized that and wrote up an amazing GBRS and helped me to select work samples that demonstrated her true ability. Because guess what?? 3 years of a academic performance outweighs 1 day of performance on a standardized test. Thank God the committee is smart enough to realize that!

Will be a long 14 years if your kid is a bad test taker all his/her life.

Oh please...get a life. I hardly think those scores are "bad"...may or may not be "gifted", but she will definitely thrive in AAP and we are thrilled. Hope it works out for your child too!

Why can't people just be happy for someone. This isn't a competition. There are spaces for any child who qualifies. One child getting in doesn't lessen your child's chance of admittance.

No sour grapes here and not trying to blunt someone else's celebration, but how was this child accepted?

- Borderline Cogat (not even in the pool, right?)
- Low NNAT
- Borderline GBRS (<12)

Really makes me wonder about FCPS's admission criteria.

Maybe he/she had a strong packet. Excellent work samples, strong recommendations and certificates, strong parent referral. You have no idea. NNAT, CogAT and GBRS are only a part of the packet.

Recommendations are subjective (as is the GBRS - though in this case the GBRS was not high)
Certificates at this age are pretty bogus
Work samples could be altered - unless submitted by the teacher
(Just playing the devils advocate ..... )
