I submitted DD5 application for Sep ( sub Aug)...
last i heard from DYS-my appilcation is complete and ready for this month....
want to share updates...
thanks

Good luck, yannam

Yes, good luck. Keep us posted!

I submitted an application last September, but was asked to supply achievement test scores. We tried in April, but my DS had a fever on the morning he was to take the tests, so it was put off until July. I submitted the report a few weeks ago and an update to the application last week.

You now have company in your wait, Yannam

DS7's application is complete this month, except I don't know if they ever received the main recommendation letter. They did receive a letter from a family friend, so that completed the app. I won't be surprised if they ask for achievement - the portfolio was hard to put together considering he spent an enormous amount of energy over the last year trying to get out of doing any writing. His WISC is solid so that should help.

It's nice they review applications every month and not just once or twice a year.

Hi - I am a lurker. And we are waiting right with you yannam. I am not sure how long it takes, but the waiting it the worst.

2 weeks if super early, think more of 3!

Good luck to everyone!

It is very nice. Funny how it still feels like it takes a whole 6 months to us anyway. Thanks for reminding me of that reality. My sympathy to those who are waiting. I'll pass the((virutal chocolate or comfort food/object of choice))

thanks everybody
my DD5 did not have a approved IQ test, she had reynolds intellectual assessment score- composite 153, hope they accept...
I put a small video of her reading a book
