[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for the quick responses. DD has severe anxiety when it comes to new situations and people. We submitted a letter from her therapist, pediatrician and we wrote a letter. The application was still denied.

We are going to appeal but we didn't mention the possibility of her moving twice in 2 years. She has scored in the 99th percentile for every MAP-P test she's taken and is reading on an "N" benchmark. I know that the designation of gifted isn't linked to CES acceptance but I thought it may be a factor.

Any insight on how we get them to understand the severity of her issues on appeal? I'm baffled that the letters from legit MD and PhDs didn't sway them. [/quote]

I mean, she's going to have to deal with change at some point, and you have made the decision to move despite what you describe as "severe" issues. Basically, you are fighting an uphill battle here, and some of it your own doing.

What is your actual concern about the school in your new neighborhood? [/quote]
