It is my understanding that the criteria are the cut-off SCORES[/i] as listed on the DYS Qualification webpage and formal report, as opposed to a list of corresponding [i]PERCENTILES.

Because students may become DYS until age 16, and may remain in the program until their 18th birthday, it appears you still have time to apply, and may still have 3-4 years for your child to benefit. This time period may include taking summer classes for advanced academics and dual credit options, choosing a college, university, gap year, and/or other post-secondary pursuits. If you believe your child may need or benefit from input and guidance in these areas, then it is well worth applying.
