[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the Cogat comes back 130 or above then you should parent refer and let the committee deal with it.

You can parent refer regardless of the Cogat, but not getting 130 there with that NNAT means that your child won't get in.  130+ and you have a chance as PP's experience indicates.[/quote]

If all three sections are in the high 120s, then it will show your DC is strong across the board, so I would parent refer, especially if you think DC will get a high GBRS.  It can't hurt.  Don't listen to anyone who says a child "won't get in" because they aren't making the decision and have no clue.  I know someone whose kid got in with 118 as the highest score on the three sections of the CogAT with a GBRS of 12.  And before people start assuming the child must have been a minority, the child was white.  The scores of those admitted are all over the place, if your child's scores are decent, it can't hurt to try.[/quote]

What was that kid's NNAT?

I can easily see a kid with a good GBRS (12 is good for AAP) and a very good NNAT *or* Cogat getting in - as a committee member, I would see 2 out of 3 being AAP qualifying so I would toss the low score.

The thing is OP's kid already has a low score (the NNAT), so the child cannot afford another low score in the Cogat if they want to get into AAP.[/quote]
