Thank you very much for this! My kid has 158 NNAT 152 cogat 99% 97% iready but got rejected. I just got the HOpe score 3 offen and 8 sometimes. I am so mad. I guess there is nothing I can do other than prepare more work sample to appeal [/quote]

Why did they reject this kid?  I wish you luck on the appeal.

Is your child hyperactive at school? You may get in by appeal. AAP teacher may have prior bias against your child if a "trouble maker". I am not blaming your child, but our society does not allow children to be children anymore. I am not blaming the teachers either, it is easy to identify regular good students but it is not that easy to identify the true gifted ones. That why there are objective measures. It is sad that the objective measures weight less than subjective measures. But this also signals that the schools/teachers are not able to support this type of learner. Looks for some other ways to help your child even if your appeal in.

He is definitely not a trouble maker. He is a quiet introvert boy. Got a lot of fours on report cards. Quit surprised on the hope score and rejection. Maybe because he is a Asian boy?[/quote]

Contact the AART for details. Don't just satisfy with " we used holistic....." ask about how. If they compare with similar background, experience, etc, ask for details.[/quote]
