[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to believe this too, 11:06, but no more.  The doctor who administered the WISC to our son (also ADHD) has been doing this for 20 years and told us that it's 100% a "numbers game" even on appeal . . . the letters of recommendation and work samples are only there to make the parents feel they had some input, but only the "big three" actually matter (test scores, GBRS, and grades).  By the way, a WISC of 132 is high enough for you to win the numbers game.  Ours had a 130 and got in on appeal.  Congrats![/quote]

I wonder how much grades actually factor in.  My daughter got into the program last year and while her test scores were great and GBRS was respectable (13), her grades on her actual report card were not the greatest.  She had about four N's (Not in core academics, though) and while her achievement grades were decent (although not straight O's by any means) her effort grades were not that great.  She got in with no appeal necessary.

For what it is worth, she still got a couple of N's last year in completing work on time and that sort of thing, but her actual academic grades were MUCH better.[/quote]
