Ania-
I don't see how a "plain smart" kid can score at the 99th +percentile on an above level test, no matter how hard they try. I think you should consider that her gifts might just be later in showing. She sure sounds gifted to me!
I'm with Lorel on this one Ania! Either she's a 'late presenter' or we have 'Gifted Denial' all over the place. I think 'way smart' is really hard to notice in girls, for many many reasons.
((Jumping in the Air and clicking heels together - for Ania's DD))
As for the DYS letters - ((hugs to those you got good news, and to those who are still waiting, hugs to those you are in the 'need more info' place, and the ones who get the 'no thank yous.' I agree with Gratified 3 that it's all about getting support for our advocacy of our children, and my guess is that if all one gets out of applying to DYS is getting to this website - than that's a wonderful thing right there.
Smiles,
Grinity
