Just curious.. do the other scores like NAT and CoGAT matter? Real question.[/quote]

Bump...can someone respond..[/quote]

IME, the NNAT and CoGAT matter if you don't submit a WISC. A high WISC seems like it outweighs a low NNAT/CoGAT. I can't say a high NNAT/CoGAT will outweigh a "low" WISC because I doubt most people whose kid has a WISC below 125 submit the results. (Yes, I know 125 isn't low in the real world, but in AAP-land, it seems to be.) If the NNAT and CoGAT are low and don't submit a WISC, low scores can be counterbalanced by a high GBRS and the other optional materials. But I'm not an expert. I'm just speaking from my own kid's experience. Your mileage may vary.[/quote]

Thanks. DC has NNAT & CoGAT below cutoff. WISC is 144. GBRS 9. DC has a photographic memory, but won't speak a word until asked to. Remembers stuff (academic and non-academic) from 5 years back. 4s in Math, science, SS. 3s & 4s in others.

My kid got in via appeal process last year, and we are in this again for my other kid this year. The GBRS was 9 and his NNAT/CogNAT was at the cut off level (125). Took WISC and scored FSIQ=152 with all the subscores in 145+ ranges. He got in on appeal. Did the same for the other kid with WISC 148, GBRS = 8  and submitted with the original file, got rejected. I have no idea what's going on with the system so I am appealing anyway. But I cannot figure out their process and what score takes precendence over what and when! Not to mention, for my first kid the same teacher who gave GBRS=9 told me to apply for AAP since she felt GE was making him bored! Crazzzy! [/quote]

Looks like you submitted WISC with original AAP package? If so, what did you submit in the appeal package?[/quote]

Additional works samples and a parent letter. [/quote]
