[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again - Thanks for all of your help, and by help I mean crapping all over my thread with your assumptions.  Yes, my daughter is bored and unexcited about school.  It took me until 5th grade to get there, but lucky her, she's a fast learner and got to my level of misery by 2nd grade.  But unfortunately for her, she's two to four years away from having her analytics kick in.  The things I can do now in math, finance, analysis, etc I could do at 13 but not at 8.  But please go right on being helpful and showing us you've got it all figured out.

I'm not sure why you think people are crapping all over your thread.  Maybe you were hoping people would say that you should definitely appeal.  But really, the scores and GBRS you posted aren't what most people have who get accepted to the program.  All of the NNAT and CogAT scores are probably what--in the 70th-low 80s percentile, right?  And anecdotally, I think the committee probably looks for a GBRS more like 12/13 or higher--particularly with lower test scores (and I mean lower than pool-eligible, not lower than the county-wide average).  Some kids found eligible don't test well and have a really high GBRS.  Others have high test scores and a lower GBRS.  (Or all are high).  Your child's scores seem quite consistent--definitely above average, but not necessarily AAP-level.  Maybe the WISC will show something different.  Maybe you can see what got her to a GBRS of 9, if you think she performs at a higher level and you can submit information to refute it.  OR, maybe those analytics will kick in next year and her 3rd grade teacher will see the potential and give her a higher GBRS to make her center-eligible for 4th grade.

There are a couple of whole threads where people posted scores of their kids who got in (or didn't).  That might help you see where some of the lines were drawn.  [/quote]
