What was NNAT? Do you expect high GBRS?

Coat 136 composite (nonverbal was perfect, but reading was around 120)
GBRS = 12

AART told me non-verbal is not a predictor of academic success. Got in on appeal with WISC GAI somewhere around 130 or 132.


By reading you mean verbal? What was the Quant score?

Keep in mind that the local committee knows that your kid is in pool, so when they give a GBRS < 10 they're basically telling the central committee that the child does not belong in AAP. High scores + very low GBRS means that the child is showing nothing in class that corroborates the high scores, and is probably viewed as a red flag for prepping.



GBRS is made up of MRA/DRA/teacher commentary/AAP samples collected etc. So eventually it is child performance in classroom that decides GBRS.

135 NNAT 130 CogAt. Don’t know GBRS though teacher said she thought DC would be good fit for AAP. Wait and see...

if your DC had above cut-off NNAT, Cogat scores and decent GBRS > 12, then admission would have been guaranteed. Was it the case?
Most kids who are rejected (reading this forum) are based on low GBRS and/or made it to pool only on NNAT/Cogat score. Also low sub-scores (verbal <120) seems to play important role here for rejection.

I’d be frustrated with that. Did you appeal?

About 1/3 are rejected aren't they? As pp stated it's due to low GBRS and I've also seen low verbal scores.
