Sorry not clear. Yes sent in WISC and some standardized test scores. But it was so odd to me that the school was saying "please, please please DONT send a LETTER" and the clerk was saying "... sen letta" Great advice and thanks. Picked out a nice tile for us also. |

Usually such high GBRS from FCPS teachers would be in- irrespective of test scores....was this from private school? If so, u wud need one high test score to offset wisc. Last year 128 was the cutoff I believe. GL! |

PS Also told the counselor told us our DS did not have a snowballs change in h#!! at TJ, either. Graduating this year from TJ, Yale next year. I do not know what is up with these teachers ... Maybe the program got harder, but I did not see that. |

Why was the school trying to dissuade you from writing a letter? I don't follow the tile and clerk story (except that the clerk persuaded you to write a letter and helped you with tile). |

PP Here: I have no idea. I was talking with the head of the program (Dr Horn). She was the "no letter" advocate while other (regular people, ie the store clerk) was like .. well write a letter duh. It wasn't nice to make fun of her accent, but I thought it was great advice at the time. I think the AAP program is a good one, but the appeals process is there for a reason, and if you think you DC would do well, then appeal. |

Here is the score for my kid. What are the chances of Appeal ?
GBRS 10 NNAT, COGAR (99%) WISC IV FSIQ 140 (VC 140, PR 137, WM 135, PS 109) (All of WISC in 99th percentile except for processg speed 73%) Is it needed to put work samples along with WISC scores? FCPS website quoted 5 samples and 5 letters can be included. Will the report from psychologist quoting the score treated as one of the 5 letters that can be included with Appeal? |

| I don't get the admissions criteria- PP made the cut but is now submitting more- GBRS was below accepted- I read 12 is better. |

| Most appeals get in if Wisc is above 125.... |

The report from the psychiatrist does not count towards the 5 pages. |

Give specific information about your child that shows why the child's needs cannot be met in the regular classroom. I would not write longer than a page. You can address it "To whom it may concern." |
