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.  [b]If you don't do the parent referral, there is no opportunity to appeal.[/b]  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]

This is not correct. The appeal has nothing to do with the original parent referral, you just need to submit the required materials for appeal and follow the deadline.[/quote]

PP is referring to children who are not in pool and are parent referred.  If a child is not in pool and not parent referred, then the parents cannot appeal later.

FCPS has a universal screening process for gifted students but not a universal admission process.  I agree with that.  Asking FCPS to create a packet for every single 2nd grader in FCPS is too burdensome and a poor use of resources.  [/quote]
