[quote=Anonymous]PP: your DC's GBRS is outstanding.  DC's FSIQ score is consistent with many who have been admitted.  A plus is that it comes from an individualized test, so the AAP Office will place more weight on that score as an accurate reflection of DC's abilities (versus the CoGat or NNAT, which are group tests).

I certainly would make any decisions based on what you read here.  Number 1, we're all just parents speculating, for the most part with no inside knowledge of the process.  Number 2, it is a very skewed sample you are seeing.  People with higher WISC scores are more likely to publish them here.  But I can guarantee what you're seeing here is *not* representative of the broader AAP population.

Finally, please don't place any stock in the rumor that the appeals process is tougher this year.  If a couple of thousand AAP admits and a couple of hundred AAP appeals, changing the % found eligible on appeal from 65% to 40% will not havesignificant impact on the overall population.

I'd say ignore the chatter on DC Urban Mom and just go for it -- DC's scores certainly support application to the progrma!  Good luck!![/quote]
