[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you think of the likelihood of the following scores being accepted in the first round?  (We are also preparing an appeal in case we need it.)

NNAT 148
CogAT  130 nv
123 quantitative
122 verbal
GBRS 11

Supplemental material included an essay for which DC won an award, and parent letter noted DC is youngest in class and shy.  (Since January DC has received all Os on tests.)

Thanks for any insights![/quote]

Here's my take on it.  My DC had similar scores (although the NNAT was below 130 and the COGAT NV subtest was a perfect 150).  DC had a 12 gbrs and was rejected -- but got in on appeal.  Our AART told me they don't value the NV score as much because it's not a good predictor of academic success.   DC took the WISC which confirmed the very high NV scores and DC scored better on the verbal parts than on the CogAt.

DC is doing GREAT at the center and it turns out that DC is a classic visual spatial learner, which the center seems better equipped to handle than our base school.

I think if you look at the posts, the scores, gbrs and acceptances are all over the board.  It all seems very random.  If your DC doesn't get in, I would definitely appeal.[/quote]
