VC 132 (98%)

WM 120 (91%)
PS 103 (58%)
FSIQ 130 (98%)

She has no other test records. What is her chance?

Based on the list from last year approval, chances are low. The WISC is below 132 and you don't have anything else to back your case like high GBRS or other IQ tests with high score. However, I hope I am wrong. GL.

Thanks for the information. It is hard to understand why would a kid with IQ at the top 2% would not be eligible for the AAP. BTW, her GAI is at 99.5%.

NP who thinks the chances are good. The two important scores, VCI and PRI, are high. Even the FSIQ is above the typical minimum, 126, that I've seen mentioned on these boards. You should be getting GBRS done too by the private school? May not count as much as GBRS from FCPS, someone will say, but should still count for something. I would submit as much supporting information as you can (parent questionnaire and work samples).

These are new scores, right? Not submitted with original application?

Yes, because the committee will only consider NEW information to sway their original rejection. If they were submitted with the original application they were previously considered and apparently not used as a basis for admission.

People are just giving you a hard time. Her scores qualify her. You might need to be a little proactive as sometimes they are prejudiced against private schools.

She is and you may have to make that point. With 11% student in the program, there are not many that are truly scoring over 130. That is a myth. From DCUM or somewhere.

SB 132
GBRS 8

No other scores. What are the chances on appeal?

What is the claim based on? Are you just guessing? Since my AART said that they ask not to resubmit what was in the original application but when they review the appeal they reopen the entire file and look at the as a whole. So you could just appeal with nothing added and they still review the file for reconsideration but obviously it's better to add new supporting evidence.

See page 15:

http://www.fcps.edu/is/aap/pdfs/localplan/FinalLocalPlan.pdf

The appeals committee reviews all appeal requests. Parents/guardians of students
not selected for the Level IV program who wish to appeal, must complete an Appeal
form (Attachment BB) according to the scheduled deadline. All screening files
receive an in-depth data review by the Central Selection Committee and the
Oversight Committee. Their decision is based on currently available information.
Therefore, appeals must contain new information (not in the original screening file).
The appeals committee reviews the original screening file as well as the new
information. This may include student work samples (stories, projects, or artwork),
awards, certificates, honors, and/or reports of academic extracurricular activities,
and letters from parents or other adults who know of the child’s advanced abilities.
Further, parents/guardians may elect to obtain additional, optional testing. FCPS
agrees to honor and accept these assessments. Individual intelligence testing from a
private licensed psychologist must be accompanied by a copy of the psychologist’s
state license. Testing results from George Mason University testing services and
other universities may also be submitted. The appeals committee consists of the
Advanced Academic coordinator, Advanced Academic Program specialists, EL
specialists, and school psychologists. The parents and guardians are notified of the
decision by mail (Attachments CC - EE).
