[quote=Anonymous]Has anyone thought that they look at the whole child, and not the numbers? We did have to appeal - but that was b/c all they do is look at numbers the first time around. On appeal, the committee looks at the kids from a different standpoint. My DD has ADHD. Her WISC was great - 132, but the COGAT was horrible b/c it was timed, and the GBRS was lousy too. We had letters of commendation, some art, activities (she plays guitar, tae kwon do, and ran a 5K this year), and we wrote a letter explaining the situation behind her scores. We won the appeal based on this information, not scores (obviously). So, for those focused on future submissions, take into account your whole child, not just the scores. Like the one lady asking about the art projects - YES, put them in, and other activities - take pictures, and get letters written, it makes a difference![/quote]
