[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for the quick responses. DD has severe anxiety when it comes to new situations and people. We submitted a letter from her therapist, pediatrician and we wrote a letter. The application was still denied.

We are going to appeal but we didn't mention the possibility of her moving twice in 2 years. She has scored in the 99th percentile for every MAP-P test she's taken and is reading on an "N" benchmark. I know that the designation of gifted isn't linked to CES acceptance but I thought it may be a factor.

Any insight on how we get them to understand the severity of her issues on appeal? I'm baffled that the letters from legit MD and PhDs didn't sway them. [/quote]

I mean, she's going to have to deal with change at some point, and [b]you have made the decision to move despite what you describe as "severe" issues[/b]. Basically, you are fighting an uphill battle here, and some of it your own doing.

What is your actual concern about the school in your new neighborhood? [/quote]

This. Even if you had to move from a particular residence, it would serve your argument more if you had selected a home in the same zone.[/quote]
