[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow!  It just seems so subjective.  Look at the other thread.  There are kids with scores WAY below 139 that got in on the first round on a parent referral because the teacher and AART wrote a good GBRS.  So a kid with a perfect score on one of the tests and a 132 on the WISC wouldn't make it?  Bizarre to me.  That kid is objectively in the top 2% where as the referral kid is in the top because of the "subjective" opinion of the teacher and the AART.  It seems like a process in which the schools can really play favorites.[/quote]
For kids with scores lower than the cutoff, if the schools inflate their GBRS, they can get in. I think the county should just use the national NNAT/COGAT scores, eliminate the parent referal and school inflated GBRS in the process, that seems to be fair.

BTW- my kid got in with GBRS-6, NNAT(146) and COGAT(140); even with bad school reports (some "N"s, very few "O"s)- the GT selection
panel did not conisder school's ratings in our case at all.[/quote]
