155 NNAT, 99% FAT: DC rejected. Not overly surprised because DC is shy, does not participate in class and report card has 3s and 2s. Also English is not first language.

This is discouraging! I heard that wisc 133 is a sure bet before... My DC is also not in (nnat 135, tat 96%) and I am thinking of wisc. For my DC's ability, I guess the wisc in the range of 130-135 is very possible. So DC will still have trouble getting in...
Maybe we should wait one more year for DC to mature? BTW, DC has a summer birthday.


PP, do you mind saying where the WISC 133 was done? I wonder if it makes a difference whether it was from GMU or private psychologist?

All you folks out there, when you post fxat score is it the composite or highest of the three parts? I heard only the highest is taken of the three areas?

One rule of thumb for times like this: Why trust an anonymous forum?

I thought almost everyone who passed the cut off has very high chance to get in. It doesn't look like the case now.

WTF, how does the cmte decide who gets in and who does not The scores look similar; 1 high test score and GBRS 11+ and some are in and some are not. I say APPEAL to everyone whose kid was in the pool and not accepted. I know I am appealing...98 on the NNAT, and 11 GBRS, 64 FxAT, and all 4s, with only two 3s on report card. What gives?

Hearing of the rejections, I don't think we will get in.

I recommend George Mason. They are very good. The fact that they are in a university setting gives confidence in the results.

Yes, just received letter. NNAT 135, FAT 96%, not in.
My DC is very average in school. We are not sure whether we should appeal or not.


Wow, your child's scores sound so good. I would appeal with WISC if you think DC might do better in AAP or the same. Do you know GBRS? Good WISC should overcome mediocre GBRS.


I am contacting the psychologists now. Any recommendations?
I don't know the GBRS. My DC makes alot of mistakes in school work. But DC does very very well with challenging math problems needing multiple steps.


Get the package from school.

I don't think the other scores are relevant, as PP kid obviously scored high on the aforementioned.
