[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]So, before appealing do we have to request from the central selection committee the reason for denial?[/b]  I am sorry, this is a stupid question, but I thought one only needed to add a new test score (if it is different and very good).  Do I have to do another parent letter?   This is kind of embarrassing at this point.  Sorry to waste your time with this question, just very confused.[/quote]

No, you do not get anything else from the central selection committee.

I have not appealed, but if I did, I would think a call to the AART at your school would be the first step, as well as making an appointment for WISC-IV testing. I would ask for a copy of the screening file from the AART, and you can provide additional materials (work samples, recommendation letters, etc.) to strengthen those areas that could appear "weak" in the initial screening file. Then submit these new materials along with the WISC-IV testing report with the completed appeal form:

I did get our packet back, but nothing was written on it.   It looked great, except the test scores need to be higher, which is what we hope the WISC will show.   I have received no indication of what to put in differently.   I was only told that it looked great.   But there has to be something, so  we will go with a new test.  My son does not test well in the non verbal category.   Everything else was fine.

Also, of note, none of his friends seem to even be aware of anything going on.  [/quote]
