[quote=Anonymous]I should have clarified what our school AART recommended with regard to my "new" letter.  Again, I should mention she has been on the screening comittee and has been part of the appeal process in the past for a number of years.  In addition to drawing attention back to the scores, we were to also discuss those areas that were not considered (music/art abilities to name a few).  As I said, my first instinct was to get the testing done, but truly after seeing his file it is plain to see that the GBRS and work sample they chose were what disqualified him.  So, to that end, the Ed. Psych I consulted, as well as the AART and the guidance counselor felt that my "new" information needed to counteract those areas of "weakness".  They all unequivocally agreed that he "passed" the testing portion, and additional testing would not negate those perceived areas of weakness that likely disqualified him.

That said, I feel it would be nice to have that concrete data to give additonal strength to my case, which I think is what the pp's were getting at...alas, the cost and time left for appeal may preclude that anyway.  Might make some calls tomorrow, though my dh does NOT want further testing, agreeing with the advice we have been given thus far.

Any more thoughts appreciated.[/quote]
