[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would suspect in.  My experience is only based on my two youngest children.

Child #2 had a 16, but CogAt was signficantly lower than the borderline Naglieri (116 and 127 I think)

Child #3 had a 16, and CogAt and Naglieri were both in the 120's (124, 126 I think)

Child #2 was not admitted.  We did not appeal.  He's currently in 4th, and pulled only for advanced math.

Child #3 was admitted first round.  She's currently in 3rd AAP, doing great.

I can say child #3 had VERY thorough commentary.  I did not see the commentary from child #2 as we had already been struggling with whether it would be the right fit, and parent referred on the rec of his teacher.  We had decided to not appeal in advance.

I think if your 16 comes with a thorough commentary, ie. comments to back up each item, your child will be in.  I happen to teach myself, and though my only involvement in GBRS is to give input on in pool and parent referred students if I have comments to give (I'm a specialist), we were told that for each point of the GBRS, there needs to be a comment.  So, for a 16, there need to be 16 comments.[/quote]

We have 18 comments. [/quote]

Very school specific.  My child has a 15 and there are about 15 comments under each of the four sections.[/quote]  I cannot imagine being the one who has to write multiple GBRS with 15 comments in each section!  OP, as I said above, if the commentary seems well thought out, and thorough, I think you will get in.  I did not count my daughters, but I do recall that most of the space was filled under each category. It was handwritten.[/quote]
