A socre of 115 is not "bombing" it.


Seriously. How is 115 "bombing" it? This area has such skewed standards.

Or your child's behavior/work habits were such that it was hard for her teacher to see her true "potential".

It doesn't work like this, necessarily. A lower score with a higher GBRS could still get in, while a very high WISC can get in regardless of nearly all other scores.


+1

The central screening committee also looks for a very high WISC without any other corroborating items in the file. A very high WISC alone will not always be "the score you need to get in to AAP."

Yes. An individual test score will outrank a group-administered test.

Possibly. It depends upon the remaining items in the file (GBRS with Commentary, progress reports, etc.).

The principal did tell me on the last day of school and thought that we had already received the letter.

My daughter's teacher told me last week that my daughter got in and I confirmed it w/ our AART. The AART was surprised that I hadn't received a letter yet bc, according to her, parents and schools are usually notified around the same time. I believe the school got the list early last week. I called the AAP office and was told the letters would be mailed June 30.
