[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks to this community for all the support! 
 
My child got in on appeal and in case it's helpful - he was in-pool based on tests and had good HOPE scores, but the work samples from school were really not reflective of his abilities.  Given this, we decided to appeal and focused on three things: 
1) new work samples -- I thought about having child do a complex math problem or doing a "what's the error in this logic?" that I've seen others suggest. Ultimately, we went with AART advice which is - you know your kid - what do you see when child plays and gets excited about things? Where do you see that critical and creative thinking pop?  
2) Wrote a cover level explaining why the earlier submission underrepresented child's abilities, how this package fills that gap, and why AAP is a good fit for child.  
3) Took wisc test and examiner comments were really helpful for our case

What was your child’s WISC score? Do you think it was other test scores that initially found them to be ineligible?

Chid's other scores were good enough that he was in-pool. 
WISC was 98th percentile and Fluid Reasoning was 99th percentile.

We think he was ineligible because of work samples.  Original ones submitted by school were fine but nothing special.
