[quote=Anonymous]My daughter didn't get in when we applied in 2nd grade.  In fact, she was receiving no AAP services. Even after her rejection in 2nd they still didn't consider her for LII or LIII.  But they placed her in the advanced math class based on how she did on a pre-test and spent all of 3rd grade in with the LIV kids for math, science, and social studies (Local Level IV delivers LIV curriculum to all students for science and social studies).  So really the only class she wasn't receiving LIV services in with Language Arts.  Not her strongest area so I didn't really care BUT the school *repeatedly* reiterated that without the LIV label, students who were principal placed weren't guaranteed their spot in those advanced classes every year.

So in order to make sure she stayed in the advanced math where she was doing so well, we re-applied in 3rd grade.  I had her retake the CogAT at GMU, submitted that and better work samples than what they turned in for her the first time, and she got in.

So, yes, it's absolutely possible to get in after 2nd grade.  Math would be a slight problem if you come in late since the curriculum is a year ahead after awhile but if your kid is good at math, it shouldn't be hard for them to catch up.[/quote]
