[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS was accepted with a lower SAS than some who were waitlisted for the same school (according to this thread). I'm worried now that he won't succeed in the program. He does perform at a high level in school and MAP tests, so it's not a total fluke, but those higher sas numbers are worrying me[/quote]

Same boat here, but I don't share your concern re: how my kid will do b/c of a comparatively low test score. I mean, I have some trepidation about how the HGC will work for my kid, but none of it has to do w/her score. FWIW, I have always been a miserable test-taker, and it's surely affected my schooling path. No IB or AP or Ivies for me. But I've been successful in the field of my choice as an adult, and so I'm just not convinced this HGC basket is where anyone needs to put all their eggs.[/quote]

to the above PP, don't worry, your son will be fine. As the other PP said, it's not like they're going to college in 4th grade.

In my experience (2 kids through HGC) everybody does fine. My second child got some I's , but it doesn't matter, really. He still benefited greatly from the program and the peer group. Grades don't matter til high school. If your child generally performs well at school, he'll be just fine. Let him enjoy it, and don't worry about every grade. (He'll put enough pressure on himself.)[/quote]

Thank you! We went to the open house today and I feel a lot better about the whole thing. [/quote]
