We were also told that the early date was to give them more time to create the files/GBRS since it's harder to know the kids and gather samples during distance learning.

That is insane. That must be 95% of the class.


I feel like there is a detail missing here. 100 referrals for one center school (multiple elementary schools) or for one elementary school? That's wild.


I could definitely see this happening at our center school (haycock).


Oh my god, yes, LOL!

So when will we know? And do they send out only acceptances and not rejections?

Wow, 100 referrals from one school?? Is your second grade class huge or is that almost everyone in the entire grade?

Our school AART mentioned that since there is no CogAT this year, there was no reason to wait.
