[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ Kids who have an ADHD, ASD, or dyslexia diagnosis often get accepted.  The teacher knows of the diagnosis and can work with the student.  It’s also included in the application packet and considered by the committee.

The problem is that kids who have SN but have not yet been diagnosed are more likely to be seen as unmotivated underachievers.

99th percentile scores + low GBRS or underwhelming classroom performance could be a red flag for extensive prep.  It could also be a red flag for an undiagnosed SN.  [/quote]

Nah.  Plenty of kids are diagnosed in 4th, 5th, 6th grade or later.

[b]The GBRS isn't about behavior, people pleasing, or even about executive functioning.[/b]

Also, there are four sections.  On this forum, we talk about the total score or the number of Cs and Fs and Os but I think the individual scores are important.  Creativity is important, Motivation could be high or low. Etc.[/quote]
That is highly dependent on the specific 2nd grade teacher completing the form.  [/quote]
