There's a rumor private schools tend to be more generous and inflate GBRS.
Well I guess more the students form their school make AAP, better the reputation of the shcool?

This is 11:23. Verbal Comprehension --148
Perpetual Organization --145
FSIQ -- 151

11:23, can you please share your childs VCI, PRI & FSIQ.

I'm 11:09. GBRS was 9. I respect the teacher, and really don't have hard feeling.
However it still can be subjective and inconsistent for various factors.
Again that's why there's the appeal process.

11:09, what are the VCI, PRI scroes. And GBRS ?

8

If you don't mind what was the GBRS?

PP: we respect the teacher a lot. No compaints on that side. So, I am guessing it might be something we are not understanding in the system, and its perspective of GBRS.

Worse case for my DC I think. Very high scores on NNAT & CogAt, and mostly O's on report card.
(I thought DC should have no problem getting in)

Comments on report cards & also on GBRS were very good, but got mediocre numbered GBRS rating. Rejected.
So took WISC - 146 GAI and 142 FSIQ. I concluded GBRS can be pretty subjective and inconsistent teacher by teacher & school by school.

Well that's the whole purpose of the appeal process I guess.
Expect my DC get in, and everything turns out OK in the end for my DC.

ok. dont want to be pushy with the teacher or put any pressure unnecessarily. may be after this process is over. I know parents tend to think their kids are great. but want to understand what it means so as to get a realistic picture.

PP: Ask the teacher....

I think I read somewhere that average FSIQ of GT kids is mid to upper 120s: 125-128 range.

Hence better above mid 120s. Mid 130s sound pretty good. Above 140 should be fairly safe.

I think this report (where I got the information I previously posted) is useful. Remember, though, the enrollment size has increased from about 10% to about 15% of the student population. I am not sure what that does to the selection criteria.

As for the WISC scores, I suspect the WISC scores trump the rest of the criteria...
