[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone have a child get into AAP with "ok" scores and super low GBRS? [b]I'm thinking[/b] 129 scores and 8 or 9 GBRS. My co-worker said her child did and I am floored. This was in 2013. [/quote]

Hard to see how a co-worker and you are having a discussion about low-ish scores and mediocre GBRS.  Are you asking about your own kid in a round about way?[/quote]

No, especially since my own kid has no 2nd grade GBRS scores and my oldest has been in AAP for 3 months now. I hope my middle child's is not low but I have no idea. Not sure how it's hard to see what we were talking about but ok . . . [/quote]

You guessed on the scores.[/quote]

OP here. She said 113 NNAT, 129 CogAT, 8 GBRS. I said 8 or 9 to suggest either would be low. She said they didn't do a WISC but they did do work samples, had letters, and some chess awards. [/quote]

Unless "some chess awards" means the child did something very special (2nd grade grandmaster) not buying it. [b]I also cannot imagine a set of circumstances where I would give a co-worker (or even a pretty close friend) this amount of detail about my kid's scores.[/b]  Something is very off here. [/quote]

Not OP but I shared both my older kids scores with anyone who asked and have had plenty of people share with me, maybe because my kids are in AAP, I don't know. When we're all in FCPS and not coming out of the same ES, it doesn't seem like a big deal to share. Usually it's in the context of people trying to figure what score generated successful entry and which ones didn't. I've also had people ask me if my kids were in pool or parent referred. Again, I don't mind sharing. It's not a secret. I'd share their IQ's if someone asked me. Why not. I didn't mind sharing. That said, these scores OP is mentioning are way too low for AAP. [/quote]
