[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD was rejected earlier this week.  She was in pool, but barely.  NNAT 118.  Cogat -- 122 verbal, 135 Q, 122 nonverbal, 131 VQN. GBRS 3C, 1F with very good commentary.

I scheduled the WISC for mid March to avoid the April rush (given that she was barely in pool, I knew there was a decent chance she would not get in). Overall, the WISC score is lower than the cogat, but the verbal score is higher than her cogat verbal score.  FSIQ 122 (verbal comprehension 127, visual spatial 114, fluid reasoning 109, working memory 120, processing speed 116).

My gut is that we shouldn't include this WISC in our appeal, but I was wondering if others have successfully used a generally lower WISC where one of the sub scores was higher than the cogat.

We did not submit work samples or the parent questionnaire with the initial application and plan to that with the appeal.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Why do you think DD needs AAP? [/quote]

Op here.  I don't necessarily think she "needs" it.  When I got the denial I wasn't sure whether or not I was going to appeal and decided to base the decision on the GBRS (which I got after the denial).  They look really good so here we are.  22:14 pp pretty much said it perfectly.  She is more than smart enough to do well in AAP even if she doesn't meet the definition of gifted.  It won't be the end of the world if the appeal is rejected.  My oldest DD went through AAP and my middle DD is currently in Gen Ed so I'm familiar with both programs.[/quote]
