I do not understand why you were not accepted in the first place. But I think you have a very good chance on appeal. GL. |

| I think with an FSIQ of 135 your DC should be in! I would be flabbergasted if your DC wasn't in AAP - that would be an outrage! |

Because the mom cannot wait until the results of appeals are mailed out in June. |

| Does anyone know when in June the results of appeals are sent out? I have searched the FCPS website and it doesn't specify. I am hoping June does not mean June 30. If so June is going to seem like a longer month than usual. |

Typically the appeals are sent out within two weeks of june 15. |

NNAT 146, FxAT 91%, GBRS 13, -- Not in. 
WISC: took in May: 149. any chance on appeal? |

| PP, you have a great chance on appeal. If there is any hope for DC, with NNAT 142, FxAT 84% and WISC 140 (new evidence), then your chances are fantastic... I am shocked that your child didn't make it in the first round! |

| That sounds about right. My kid got in on appeal a few years back, and it seemed like we got the notice about two weeks after school got out. |

I'm puzzled. Your kid should be in the first round. Usually, kids with low GBRS but with good scores not in either because 1) they don't care to stand out 2) Bored about subject matter and not participate. 3) No PTA moms back them up. (Sorry to say that but in our school, it's very true.) Some gifted kids are not good students or behave well (such as poor organizational skills, listening skills, etc ) in a traitional way. But your kids' GBRS score is quite good, meaning her/his teacher had lots of good things to say. |

| I am puzzled too. PP, what was the breakdown of the 91% FxAT? I would think the GBRS said only good things, but was any weakness highlighted? Any chance the child was red-shirted and much older than most others in the grade? Searching for any reason for decision of not eligible in first round. I agree that WISC 149 should now be found eligible. |

| For what it's worth, my kid was accepted in first round with very similar scores, but lower GBRS (12). We had a WISC in the original application (Full Scale 137). So I think you're sitting pretty in the appeal. |

| My kid started Kumon a couple of months ago, has made great progress. Should we mention that in the Appeal? or it doesn't help. |
