[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC remains in the wait pool. The letter does reveal the median SAS score of the selected students in the Center. My son's score is exactly the same as the median score... However, " the score is not determinative of selection and is one of the multiple factors reviewed".

I know a kid whose SAS score is much higher than median score got successful appeal and now is accepted in HGC.

My kids'S score was higher than the median and he was rejected.  On appeal, we learned his teacher's recommendation sank his application.  She had told us during a p/t conference that she "didn't believe" in gifted education.[/quote]
A few years ago when my DC went, the letter we got showed the median scores in three catgories -- verbal, nonverbal and quantitative -- along with my DC's scores in those categories.

Is it still like that, or do they only show the overall median score for the accepted group?

If it no only shows one median score, I wonder why they changed it?[/quote]

It was a different test this year - Cogat screener instead of the full Cogat.  So there are no category scores, just a composite score.  This makes it harder to know if a child did poorly overall or just in 1 section that brought down the entire score...[/quote]
