[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I may have missed it somewhere but have you had actual IQ testing done?[/quote]

No. I don't believe in IQ tests. DD did take the SAT in 7th grade to get into CTY, and she did very well. [/quote]

An IQ test is a necessary and [b]clinically informative[/b] part of a neuropsychological evaluation, which I hope you've done. You cannot claim that your child is gifted and unhappy with school, and has no disorders, if you haven't done your due diligence. Ignorance and prejudice on your part will harm your child.[/quote]

Let's agree to disagree. I listened to a highly qualified and respected psychotherapist who says my child is "gifted." I don't care what that means technically if it even has a precise meaning. There is lots to read about how inaccurate IQ tests are.

In any case, it doesn't matter for this discussion. I posted to hear from parents whose gifted kids (whatever that means to them) have thrived at lesser ranked colleges and universities. Those posts are useful and helpful to me. [/quote]

Sorry, but you've been leading us up the garden path. Some of us have expertise in this field and have tried to help you, but you don't want help.

It's sad that some people can be so anti-science.
