I think this gives another perspective for verbal than the WISC.  You have nothing to lose by appealing.  If your child gets in, you can still decide to wait a year to transfer to level IV.  If your DC doesn't get in, you can request a CogAT retake next year.  You have the opportunity to wrap up the process in a month instead of going through a retake and the committee process all over again next year.  I'd submit the appeal so you don't second guess if you should have.  Again, You lose nothing be appealing. [/quote]

I wouldn't appeal unless I felt pretty confident he'd get in.  This is because the committee then has this score in the kid's records which will be considered when you (presumably) reapply next year.  Why not do a separate posting asking those who appealed and got in in prior years what the WISC was.  That's really the only piece of information you need.  It would be confusing to get all information (Cogat, NNAT, GBRS and WISC stats) - just get the WISC score and evaluate if you think your child will likely get in.  I know my friend's child did not get in with a 126 BUT if lots of people posted that their child got in with a 126, I'd feel more confident about it.[/quote]
