[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since your child is entering 2nd, you don't need to worry yet.  They'll give your child the CogAT this fall.  The teacher will also rate your child on "gifted behaviors."  Getting into AAP is kind of a crapshoot, but if your child has decent CogAT scores (like 124+), is highly rated by his teacher, and produces good work samples in school, generally speaking, he should get in.

I would not use the WISC at this point.  [/quote]

See if your kid gets higher on the CogAT.  Historically 132 on the CogAT is what puts you in pool, though parents can submit an application with a lower score.  Like PP says, if your kid had a score on the CogAT in the 120s PLUS strong GBRS scores and school work they have a reasonable shot.  If you don't get in through that process, you could always retake the WISC (scorings just need to be 12+ months apart) at GMU if you don't think the initial test accurately reflects your child's abilities, and submit that on the appeal.
