[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Strong WISC-IV scores should help, as would strong student work samples. Good luck! [/quote] I agree that strong WISC-IV scores will help. But work samples are not going to be a major factor. As I mentioned in a previous post, work samples submitted by parents are not given a lot of weight. The screening committee cannot tell how much of it is the child's original work and how much was done by or with the assistance of the parents. [/quote] I respectfully disagree with this statement as I think it depends upon the work sample. When my DC was being considered, I know that one of the submitted work samples carried a great deal of weight as I heard about it from selection committee members after the notification letters went out. Admittedly DC had very strong WISC-IV scores as well as high GBRS and strong teacher recommendations. But an unusually strong work sample can also carry a great deal of weight.[/quote]
