Yes. With additional work samples etc. But, I actually think this is an opportunity where WISC would be helpful. If a child does not get in with all COs, that it is likely that test scores were very low. So, here having a high WISC may push the application over to acceptance.

My hunch is that this year, Adv Math, Adv Reading and current AAP designation (II, III) will also matter a lot. I've been hearing that Adv Math is important. (Of course, this is all just a guess so who knows at the end of the day.)

This didn't happen at our school in the first quarter of 2nd grade. It was all NT and NA. So I'm not sure about that.

Our second grade didn’t offer advanced math this year

Thank you for the response. Our kid is in 2nd grade and is doing Level II math.
