[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is 3yrs ago.  DC got 141 on NNAT and was in pool but didn't get in.  CogAt scores for each section was in 120's.  GBRS was 5.  We didn't appeal.  Grades were pretty much all O's.  [/quote]

What was the reasoning behind the GBRS of 5?[/quote]

What was the reason for not appealing?[/quote]

I don't know why DC got a 5; I didn't give it.  I know the score because I asked to review the file after the rejection to see if we should appeal.  But when I saw the GBRS, there didn't seem to be a point since no matter what the WISC, it wouldn't change the GBRS.  I didn't ask nor did the GT specialist explain why the GBRS was so low.  And honestly, I really didn't know or understand the process.  I didn't know what I know now, which is that virtually everyone appeals (it seems).  I know one thing that contributed to the low GBRS is that my DC is really really quiet, like pulling teeth quiet.  So I understand the teacher's perspective.  When you have 30 kids and you go to write up the GBRS, I'm sure it's impossible to think of anything to write about a child that has said nothing all year.        [/quote]
