FWIW - It appears from the FAQ responses, that the Davidson folks specifically anticipate that this forum will support both PG kids/parents as well as gifted kids (and their parents) who are not PG. Here is the response to the question of whether DYS admission is possible for those who don't make their cut-off criteria:
As we strive to serve the extreme of the gifted population, the scores listed on our website are considered to be the minimum in terms of eligibility requirements. . . . Many very bright students may not meet our qualification criteria for this program, but are likely to benefit from the information and free resources that the Davidson Institute makes available to the public via our websites, including . . . . the public Gifted Issues discussion forum. . . .
And anyway - the folks on this board are so uniformly kind and supportive, that I can't imagine them rejecting anybody who reaches out for help.
So - welcome!
