WATS awards depend on the pool from year to year so we still don't know if dd11 got in on her 7th grade SAT scores this year. If she is in the top 25% of the 7th grade pool from WATS she will, but it will be a few more weeks until we get the email if so.

It would be nice if the awards were based on the same thing from one talent search to another. Some seem to set the bar low enough that my kids would certainly qualify every year even if they didn't have their best day. Others are so high that it seems like DYS kids would be the only ones who qualify.
