I can tell you with confidence that there's nothing a parent can say about a child with a 140 NNAT and anything moderately commensurate on the Cogat that will be the difference between being admitted or not admitted.  [/quote]

Respectfully disagree. Also would point out Cogat and GBRS unknown here. It’s just a high NNAT, arguably the lower weighted of the two tests and also a sole data point.[/quote]

Yup. And every year there are reports on this site of kids with a 140 NNAT and a 140 CogAT and the kid was not accepted. It normally ends up being that the GBRS are mediocre and the work samples were poor. The parent appeals with the parent questionnaire filled out to address the GBRS issues and with new work sample. And some of those kids are accepted on appeal and some are not.

And then there are the people who post the exact same stats without referral forms who were accepted.

The reality is that the same packet could be shown to many different tables of five reviewers and end up with different results. We have no idea what each persons standards for acceptance is and we know that they are not given a set standard that they are suppose to met.

So who knows.

The AART at our school said she would not see packets from her schools, because she helps put them together, but would be reviewing other packets. [/quote]
