[quote=Anonymous]My DC had 82% on FAT, with 98% NNAT.  Her GBRS was 14 and we submitted quite a few extra things with application, letter of rec, self written story, awards, etc.  I am guessing with the marginally good FAT, the 14 GBRS and the extras we submitted we're the key that convinced the committee she would be the type of student who would thrive in AAP.

Also, she is a perfectionist and can "freeze" if she feels she doesn't know how to "do" a problem (told this by her first grade teacher) so to be sure ahe would feel comfortable we reviewed sample questions.

She is an exceptional reader- learned to read very early and is 2 grade levels above in DRA.  Her downfall is her organization and tendency toward being off- task and talk in class- but she is the youngest in her class and we feel part of that is age and her maturity.  In the end, we believed in her strengths and did all we could to submit a good application.

For those that didn't get accepted- don't give up, do a WISC with dianna dalgren or submit an appeal.  Give it all you can- it's worth it because it is for your children.  And if it's not approved the second time around, continue to lobby for your child at their base school.
  
Good luck![/quote]
