[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC was found not eligible.
NNAT 124
CogAT 120 (Q115, NV114, V126)
GBRS all C's with amazing comments but with only Math checked as advanced (He is in above grade level in LA per Q2 report, so not sure why it wasn't checked. He is currently in advanced math.)
Good school work samples (although messy handwriting)

I am hoping WISC or other IQ test will do the trick here for appeal...[/quote]

From what I can tell, they want the Quantitative section to be high.  So you could have a high overall score with low Q and not get in.  And that goes with what our AART has said in the past that people with language arts issues should not shy away from AAP, but students who struggle with math should rethink it.  I also think if the GBRS comments lean more towards Math strength than language arts strengths, it was seen as a good thing.

So I would really think you would need a WISC to overcome the lower Q score.

I thought being placed in advanced math and getting 4s would prove DC can handle AAP math.  DC doesn't struggle with it at all.  GBRS also has many examples how DC is fast at grasping math concepts.  Maybe committee wants to see the additional data point to prove that point further?  Or maybe they think DC will be fine with advanced math only because DC wasn't marked "advanced" in Language arts within GBRS.
