If you have one score that qualifies, then I agree you should submit a portfolio. We actually had a WJ3 that qualified, but waited for more info. When we finally decided to apply, though, they had updated the criteria and no longer accepted the subtests in which DS had qualified and he had not done the subtests they do accept. So there can be a down-side to waiting!
The point of my earlier post wasn't to discourage applications, but only to make sure that you (and others reading this) weren't entirely defering to the Davidson admission folks to help you decide how gifted you child is. That cluster of kids around the cut-off (the ones who get in and the ones who don't), as Trinity says, are quite similar in the issues they are facing. So whether your child gets in or not, if this board meets your needs, then you probably have a highly gifted kid, regardless of their paper scores.
