[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Here is where I feel confused...my son's COGAT score of 127 was 95th percentile nationally, and 90th percentile in Fairfax.  I would assune that his WISC score would place him in roughly the same range.  Considering that the program services roughly 19% of the total population, and considering that his GBRS was extremely strong, shouldn't this place him in the program? I just can't see that 19% of the students are scoring in the 130 range, but perhaps I am wrong.  [/quote]

19% aren’t. Approx 70% of kids in the pool are admitted. Approx 50% of kids not in pool are admitted. Approx 1/3 of appeal files are admitted the 19-20% of kids in aap are comprised of all those kids, who did and didn’t have score benchmarks met.

I think your cogat and wisc support each other and unless you have something else, submit them but I don’t think it will help without more goodl luck. [/quote]

Don't submit the WISC. They already rejected your child with that CogAT and so this reinforces that the committee was correct in not finding your DC eligible.  The GBRS was good, so write something that explains why your DC's needs aren't met in the base school, why the center would be better and submit new work samples or recommendation letters.  If you decide to include the WISC, please report back what the eligibility decision is.  You might want to look at last year's appeals results thread to see if people posted WISC scores and results.
