[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They do not care about your kid's DRA or iReady scores.  Get a WISC, and submit it if it's 128 or higher.[/quote]

Agree. You can be a strong reader but that doesn’t mean you are gifted or showing any gifted characterisitscs. It’s about how the child thinks. WISC will show it if it’s there.[/quote]

Meh.  This is a program accepting over 20% of the student body.  Your child doesn't need to be gifted to get in.  Simply being a good student who is academically advanced should suffice.  OP didn't mention CogAT or NNAT scores, but OP also shouldn't expect a significantly higher WISC score.  If the CogAT or NNAT were reasonably good, the DRA, iready, and good work samples might be sufficient to show that the child is academically advanced and would be fine in AAP.

tl;dr  If OP is one of those 99th percentile CogAT rejects, then OP just needs something for appeal to get a fresh set of reviewers.  iready should be fine for this, but I'd submit a letter and work samples too.  If OP's kid didn't have a high CogAT, then try the WISC but don't expect a miracle.   [/quote]
