[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The process is so subjective that even your school's very experienced AART might be completely mystified by the rejection. BTDT.

If the GBRS is not good, the WISC is unlikely to help. The only thing that might help on appeals is if you can write a letter convincing the committee that there are solid reasons why your child is not demonstrating gifted traits in the classroom, but how your child absolutely needs AAP to have their needs met. The most likely outcome, though, is that your kid won't get in this year, and you'll just have to hope the 3rd grade teacher likes your kid a lot more than the 2nd grade teacher did. FWIW, one of my kids had a low GBRS in 2nd, but then a very high one when reapplying in 3rd.

If the GBRS is good, the WISC is still unlikely to help. The only time a WISC seems to help is if your child had one low score on the CogAT for either Verbal or Quant, like less than 115, but the WISC shows that your child is actually strong in that area.[/quote]

Same PP here, We just found out that the AART had rejected our special projects. Since we were traveling we could not resubmit. Could that have been it?[/quote]

Special projects? Do you mean work samples? If so, probably not. I don’t think parent supplied work samples really do much.[/quote]
