OP said she wanted to see if it was worth doing a packet. For a lot of people, it isn’t a matter of, oh my kid is in pool, I won’t bother, but more of the kid got a 105 on CogAT, it is highly, highly unlikely that kid will be admitted no matter how fabulous the packet, so why bother. [/quote]

That's a foolish approach, though.  If your kid has a fabulous packet and low CogAT scores, you can always get a WISC and appeal.  Sometimes, kids with high IQs test very poorly on CogAT or just didn't understand one of the sections.  If you don't do the parent referral, there is no opportunity to appeal.  Also, some kids are admitted with much lower scores than what people would imagine.  They really are looking holistically at the packets.  Even if your kid ends up with low scores and a meh packet, it doesn't hurt you to submit a referral anyway.  At the very least, it will cause the local committee to think about your child and consider your child for Level III services, advanced math, and other things like that.  [/quote]
