Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment May DYS emails? Anyone hear?

Bummer, I didn't hear anything. I sent our application 6 weeks ago. I did get an email when I sent it that looked like an auto response but nothing since then. :-(

MamaLisa-- We received the auto-response, which was later followed by a personal email from a family consultant telling us that our app was complete and would be reviewed this month. So, if I were you I might follow up tomorrow, just to make sure that your app was being reviewed this month or if something might have been misplaced.

Amazed and Blessed, like you, nothing yet. I'm thinking (hoping) that we will hear tomorrow. Amazed -- rest easy! I just found the forum in April after testing, but your DD has to get in, right? Blessed, looks like you and I are in the same boat --having sent in portfolios, we may be asked to send more info. Hopefully we will all hear tomorrow!

And, yes, congrats to svmp and madeinuk!!

No response here either, if that helps.

I've read people commenting about how they had to provide more "evidence". I wonder if that is done earlier in the month, or if they just make a decision on each child and email out all the accept/reject letters.
I'm just trying to see if there's reason to be optimistic.
Seems to me that if the child has the test numbers and Davidson hasn't requested more evidence/work examples, then there shouldn't be too much to worry about.
But maybe I'm wrong. Find out soon I suppose.

Thank you - best of luck to the rest of you.

I do think that as long as the scores are good there should be nothing to worry about except the waiting...

We had initially sent in our application Apr 1. We got an automated response, and a follow up after few days that they need additional portfolio items. We then submitted 2 more items somewhere around Apr last week. At that point, we got a confirmation email the application is complete and it will be processed in May pool.

We heard from them last night that DD was accepted.

We submitted DD13's SAT score (which were way higher than minimum cut-off) and portfolio items of her writing samples.

Looking back -- application process was fairly simple. We just submitted what we had. The only pain point was WAITING for THAT email!!

Good luck everyone. Hope you will hear from them by this evening.

It is nearly 8 am in Nevada so I am thinking that if I don't hear by 4pm Eastern I will call. But the fact that a # of us have heard and others have not suggests that they just have a process that is not yet complete.

DD's in! We had gone to the library and store and my stomach was in knots driving home waiting to check my email. I am so relieved.

Congratulations to svmp, madeinuk, and amazedmom! Blessedmom04, I'm sure yours will be along shortly, too.

I still have not heard but since I never received a true confirmation email I'm sure I'm not going to get an email. I sent an email this morning but never even heard back from that. :-(
