HOPE (good/bad/etc, # of exceptional subjects): 5 always for acadmic related questions/6 almost always for social questions for HOPE with Maths and Reading/Writing marked as exceptional subjects.

Since it changed from GBRS to HOPE(which I find GBRS much more helpul getting to know what/how actually my child does in school)so I have no idea if this is strong rating to appeal.

Somehow he messed up some online tests, but otherswise he is a strong student. Our AART has never been very helpful, so just want to get some thoughts about appealing with these specs. Don’t want to hassle around if low chance.

This is a very strong HOPE. I would definitely appeal. Can you get a WISC?[/quote]

That does seem like a great HOPE. Is there anything you can do in the cover letter to talk about the social areas that are "almost always?" If I were a committee member I'd be weighting the academics more (they do emphasize, after all, how AAP is an academic program when they tell you not to submit Legos and artwork as a work sample without compelling explanations to go with), but maybe you got people who took the social really seriously?[/quote]

Thank for your feedback! Yes, probably I will consider emphasizing about his social aspect(I honestly don’t get some key questions in HOPE, why and how they are related/weighed to sort out suitable kids for aap, old GBRS that I’ve done with my first child two years ago was way more reasonable)

I do think HOPE about social stuffs are rated pretty accurately, my DS is absolutely loved by his homeroom teacher, gets along very well with kids and is such a good rule follower. He got “always” for being a leader in his peer group, but it’s not like he has such big personality and wants to lead everything. He can be shy and obeservant at beginning, and he would not be the one who always jumps in to raise his hands everytime, so this whole rating does seem make sense to me. But as it is considered overall great rating, maybe I would just want to give it a try with better samples and explanations covering his weakness. [/quote]
