I know other ladies will have much more seasoned advice but I would say that it never hurts trying the application with the portfolio option but based on recent events of my own, I think having those achievement tests to back up the IQ test seems to be a "must have". GL! He does sound like the type of kid they're looking for!

DD had a WISC IV verbal 150 and FSIQ of 140 and was not accepted, however I had no achievement testing to include and the DSYP has asked for that information and I think my portfolio was weak since most of dd's abilities were hard to show on paper.
