My daughter also was not admitted with all O's in 2nd grade (I mean all now including 3rd qtr.), NNAT 135 (99%) and high COGATs (cumulative 95%),  GBRS 10.  School admitted they do not inflate the GBRS and that a 10 from them was a good score.  She recently took the WISC and scored 129 (97%), also was tested at the same time in reading and math, perfoming at 4th grade level in each.  Our child gets perfect grades and is in the top 3% in IQ.  How could she not be admitted on appeal to an advanced academic program that includes the top 11% of the field?  If she does not get in on appeal, she will be dropping back a level in key classes next year as she is now in the highest level reading and math groups.  That is, with most of her classmates in those groups going to GT, the "highest" non Level IV classes will be made of those in the group behind her.[/quote]

Just trying to figure out why she was not admitted...

What were her CogAT sub scores? Was there one that was notably "average" or two that were average and one that was high and caused the high composite score? It seems as though high NNAT scores are more common than high CogAT scores, so I wonder if the committee puts more stock in the CogAT.
With good work samples and a solid appeal package, it seems as though your daughter may be found eligible on appeal.
