Hi, everyone. I'm new to this forum, but it already feels like home! I have two HG daughters (ages 6 and 9). The stories I've read all sound so familiar.
I just sent in my older daughter's Young Scholar application last Friday. It's out of my hands now, but for some silly reason I feel so nervous about it! I guess I'm just looking for someone to tell me what I already know-- that regardless of the outcome, we will be OK and that there are still plenty of other resources out there for parenting a kid like her!
She was tested by Dr. Deborah Ruf on the SB-5 with a 144 (which I know is 1 point below the cut-off). Dr. Ruf assessed her at a "high level 4". Her achievement scores are very high, though, and above the Davidson minimums. (EXPLORE as a 4th grader: English 19, Math 17, Reading 18, Science 18, Composite 18; WIAT-II scores also over the 99.9%)
Does anyone familiar with the program have any comments or suggestions? I'd appreciate any words of wisdom!
Sincerely,
Joy
