[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child just started in the program (4th grade). [b]I really think it's mainly the test results that are  considered...because the results really show whether the child is of the HGC caliber or not. [/b] I'm sure the teacher recommendations help some (it's the 3rd grade teachers, by the time they need to fill out the forms they've already had your child in class for at least 4 months).  I wouldn't say you'd have to worry too much about the parent application, I think all we wrote was that our child wasn't challenged by the assignments he was getting at the old school.

That being said, the new school is way different from his old one....tons of homework and projects, all very challenging, but also take a lot of time to complete.[/quote]

I agree with this.  I do know (for a fact) that in the decision-making meeting, the first order of business is to eliminate applicants who tested below a certain level.

The remaining pool is then vetted according to the test results + other factors (teacher recs, etc.).[/quote]
