[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spoke to Gilman admissions recently, and was told that my son (who has a summer birthday) would most likely be placed in pre-first ("Prep 1" is the title they like to use). Based on what was said, I also wondered if being on the younger end for one's grade is also a problem for doing well on the K assessment interviews during the application year. The representative explained that some kids do well, and others are not yet ready to sit still for the whole thing. Anyone have insight into this? Should I try but expect the assessment to be too much for a summer birthday to test well. It sounds like Gilman wants them tracking a grade ahead from the beginning, which is of course harder if you are on the younger end of a year. [/quote] Not an issue at all! The test they use is normed to the boy's age, to the month. My son took them at I think it was 4y6mo, and the results compared him to other 4y6mo kids. [/quote]
