Tara, I think DS' scores were a bit lower than your child's. Maybe you'll get that fat "YES" envelope  ETA: The letter says, "The test score information included with the application meets our minimum eligibility criteria in at least one significant area."

Okay, I'm on the East Coast, so it will likely be early next week.

See, all of us waiting will get something Monday, I bet.
Cathy, I got that same letter and sent in WIAT test results. I don't know if my daughter was accepted but will probably find out tommorow.
Please don't be frustrated about it.
Good luck gathering your materials.

That's good news, Cathy. Better than a no, and plenty of kids got in after a "need more" letter.
Have you videotaped anything? I always say that's what I'd do if/when I get a "need more" letter.

Have you videotaped anything? Not really... Maybe I'll videotape him doing science stuff. He likes to collect specimens and prepare slides for his microscope. He also experimented with other lenses he had to see if he could increase the magnification. He loves to talk about physics--energy, light, gravity, magnetism... He loves to make jokes and puns but these are spontaneous and hard to catch on video. He got me this morning--he was telling me something and then he said, "Don't say that." I said, "I didn't say that!" and he laughed and said, "You just did! You said, 'that'!"

Need more info isn't that bad. Of course it would be much better if he were already in, but it's just question of time. I could see how one could obsess about the additional portfolio though. I agree video is probably the best solution.
Tara, dtto what Debbie said, no way your son wouldn't get in. For what it's worth DS5 got in without the need more info and I still have quite strong impostor syndrome. I hope it will go away with time.
Good luck to the rest of you. I hope your thick letters will come on Monday.

We didn't even get mail today! Too much snow, I guess.
So, Dottie, that's the utter end of the "Neither rain, nor snow..." myth about postal carriers.
Sheesh. Wimps. It wasn't even a real blizzard here. <eye roll>

Kriston, Did you consider the possibility that he was too scared to get near your door, since he didn't have what you were looking for

LOL! No, our mailbox is by the street. I wouldn't have had time to get my boots on before he escaped.
No, the mail carriers are just weather-wimps around here...like everyone else!
Ah, for some Northerners with thicker blood! And better snow-driving abilities!
