[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD was admitted first round.  Her NNAT was in-pool by the skin of its teeth, but she also got a 128 on the CogAt.  Like OP, we also submitted a few work samples (art and writing) and an award, plus the parent questionnaire.  I do not know what her GBRS was, though.  Based on a conversation with her teacher, I would be surprised if she was a strong recommend and would guess we're in the 10-13 range.[/quote]

OP here - I think if one of your child's score make the cut off with a strong work samples that it would be an easier decision for the committee. In my DD's case, all of her scores are on the border so she could not make the cut.[/quote]PP here.  That is certainly possible.  I think I had read from some of the AAP gurus that the CogAt score mattered more (no official source, though, could be wrong), and she was not in pool on that and also took it late compared to the rest of her class.  We felt the teacher's perspective was lukewarm at best, TBH, and we were not sure which way the whole thing would go.  I don't know if the work samples I picked were strong, but I sent things that highlighted her creativity that I doubted would be in her school file.  We did not have her do the WISC, though, so I don't have that data.[/quote]

OP here again - wow your case sounds very similar to mine. I also felt lukewarm response from her teacher which explains her GBRS rating of 11. I felt that I did put in a strong package but I could be biased. Oh well, we will try our best and if she's meant to be in the program than she meant to be.[/quote]
