Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment Just applied for DYS!

Dang, 5 weeks is a long time to wait.
Do they ever decide before the end of the month? Or should I expect to wait until the end of May?

Thanks!

We heard three weeks in. I think it depends on how many people apply in that month. It also seems that if you apply with test scores only, you hear faster than if you apply with a portfolio.

Good luck.

We are waiting for decisions in May too. HUGS. It will be a long month.

Good luck to you both!

We heard on the 23rd, which seems to be about average. My impression having gone through a lot of recent posts on this board -- qualifying IQ + achievement is the golden ticket, as someone else put it, especially if the scores are not just at the minimum. My impression is that one set of qualifying scores plus portfolio results in many requests for more information, followed frequently by eventual admission.

Good luck!
