[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i don't think it will hurt, but it depends on what you mean by average.  People can use average for numbers between 100 & 120 accurately.  I think numbers in the 110-120 range are very much in the range of what top schools seek.  They aren't looking for gifted children - they don't advance curriculum or tailor to learners that need differentiated learning.  They look for solid, intelligent students who will form a solid cohort with other classmates.

With that, keep a range of school options open, and apply to schools that don't require testing, too.[/quote]

Low test scores are not disqualifying and they aren't even a very good indicator of intelligence, let alone potential. However, the average WPSSI and WISC FSIQ scores of students at Beauvoir, Sidwell, GDS, Maret are much higher than 120.  Scores in the 120-140 range are perfectly typical for upper middle class children of well educated professionals at these schools.   [/quote]

How exactly do you know what the average FSIQ range is at these schools?  Tell me then, what is the average GIA?[/quote]
