In center schools isn’t the cutoff score 132? Then why do they reject kids with 99% scores and admit kids with 120 to 130 scores? Please help me understand this. My child is in 2nd grade now and am waiting for cogat results. [/quote]

This is not possible unless GBRS is too low. If your claim is based on what is written from this forum then know that this is a public forum, take anything written here with pinch of a salt :).[/quote]

The AAP equity report showed that GBRS is 4x as influential as any test score.  They also recommended moving away from the WISC, so a 99th percentile WISC might not carry any weight.  Plenty of kids with 99th percentile scores get rejected.  In-pool is 98th percentile+, and 1/3 of those kids get rejected.  Low GBRS is a huge reason.  Other reasons are probably poor or sloppy work samples, coming across like the kid is prepped, coming across as arrogant or presumptuous in the application, or some randomness in the selection system.

I've worked with a lot of AAP kids.  Most of them are above average, mildly advanced, reasonably well behaved, high executive function, UMC kids.  If your kid is like that, your kid will most likely get in.  They're not looking for outliers.  They're looking for bright kids who can handle a more advanced curriculum.  [/quote]
