[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MY DC 3rd Grader

Got reject letter

Cogat 142
NNAT  114
GBRS: Dont know

Does it make sense to re appeal? Or try giving Wisc or its too late now?[/quote]

I would definitely appeal that.  Ask your AART for the file ASAP before he/she gets flooded.  Get a WISC or other IQ test.  I have a third grader too and am nervous, especially based on your result.  For my DC, Cogat was 130 and NNAT was 123 (from GMU).  I saw the file the school submitted, and the GBRS was 13, with strong work samples from the school (in my opinion).  I hope this puts DC through.  Otherwise, I will likely appeal too.[/quote]

What would be considered strong work samples? [/quote]

I am comparing to the file prepared for my DC last year.  Last year, the work samples were hard to read, and the main sample selected was kind of random stream of consciousness writing.  In the file for this year, I saw writing samples that clearly showed my DC's wit and knack for storytelling, extensive vocabulary, and just overall creativity and thought process.  Additionally, the write up on the GBRS clearly tied into those samples.  Of course, I have not reviewed anyone else's files, so I don't know how this compares to other third graders or what the committee is looking for specifically.  All I can say is that the file this year was much better than last year, and while age might factor into some of that, I don't think the improvement in quality can be attributed solely to DC being a year older.
