I'm worried Child 2 did not score as well as he could have, but if I hear from several of you that such a significant variation is not unusual, I may just accept it for what it is and move on.  This sucks, though, as the program is awesome and Child 2 would love to be part of it.  I am super sad for him.

Not trying to be snarky, but why are you worried? Is it because he is not getting into the program or is it because you feel there may be a particular reason he did not score as high? I too have read that many siblings have are within a 10pt range on IQ scores. But they are just 13pts apart, which does not seem that unusual. I have also read that 1st born children tend to have higher IQ scores (which is not the case with my own children).  [/quote]

This is the real problem here.  Why are you so invested in this kid's IQ? He's very smart. He isn't profoundly gifted, but he is gifted.  With that IQ, he can do any academic major he wants to do.  It this were my kid, I would say "Oh, well." There are tons of other awesome, wonderful things your kid could be doing. Find them. Do them. [/quote]

A certain number score is required as threshold for program. That's what this is about - an educational opportunity. I'm not worried that he's not smart. He is. My concern is related to missing out on a program because of firm entry requirement score. [/quote]
