Grinity - that is a great idea re: the grade skip... They said, and I quote "Because L's achievement scores meet our criteria, we would greatly appreciate additional work samples tp supplement any portfolio items you already sent...... The committee is requesting at least 3 pieces of L's work that clearly demonstrates his advanced abilities...." and on and on.

SO hard to get that from a 5 year old.... I will have to take out the video camera and hide it in his room. Or wait until he turns 6 and have him take the WISC..... but if I do that, I will have to fully resubmit the application because they said the app remains open for 6 months.... and if i wait until he turns 6, that time period will have elapsed and I will have to start from scratch......
