[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS was accepted with a 135 CoGAT and 3 CO/1FO. There was a noticeable difference in the CO write ups from the FO write up. The CO included more examples and clear demonstration of DSs interest, skill, and curiosity. The FO answers were less detailed and outline areas that he was on grade level for but not advanced in. I would guess that is where your answer can be found.

First grade work samples are weird, that shouldn’t happen. [/quote]

Someone told me the cutoff this year is 134 so I thought kid would have a good chance of getting in. Is the NNAT weighted heavily? Wonder if I should retake that one.[/quote]

The cut off is for in-pool vs requiring parent refer and it is different for each school. It is not an automatic entrance into LIV. A 135 probably does have a good chance of getting in and the GBRS are not bad. That is why I am recommending you read them carefully. It could be that what the Teachers are highlighting as strengths are things that can be met in the Gen Ed class while the weaker areas are areas that would cause issues in LIV so the committee decided that Gen Ed was a better fit.

I think the appeals deadline has passed but I would look at addressing the issues that are raised in the FOs if you reapply next year. I don’t think it was test scores.

DS one FO dealt with writing and the Teachers included that his writing was on grade level but that he was advanced in his verbal descriptions. It gave me the impression that they were balancing out a weakness with a strength. Everything else was very positive. [/quote]
