Denver expalanation:
Since DS went to RMTS Summer Institute in Denver in the summer after 5th grade, DD has been wanting to go too, to take psychology or another humanities course. I never told her that, but I worried what will happen if her scores are not "high enough". Now we all know that she can go and she has already started talking about it:-) She was so happy last night and again this am before school.
Acs - thanx for sharing. My daughter is very responsible and extremely well organized. Her room can be a mess, but her brain is like this perfect closet with everything color coded and put nicely away. Very linear, to touch on Wren :-)

Ania-
I don't see how a "plain smart" kid can score at the 99th +percentile on an above level test, no matter how hard they try. I think you should consider that her gifts might just be later in showing. She sure sounds gifted to me! I'm with Lorel on this one Ania! Either she's a 'late presenter' or we have 'Gifted Denial' all over the place. I think 'way smart' is really hard to notice in girls, for many many reasons. ((Jumping in the Air and clicking heels together - for Ania's DD)) As for the DYS letters - ((hugs to those you got good news, and to those who are still waiting, hugs to those you are in the 'need more info' place, and the ones who get the 'no thank yous.' I agree with Gratified 3 that it's all about getting support for our advocacy of our children, and my guess is that if all one gets out of applying to DYS is getting to this website - than that's a wonderful thing right there.

In fact, EandC, if you do get your scores before Dottie, it might just be better to keep that quiet--you know for Dottie's sake.

Way to go, Dottie! So when both sets of scores arrive, whatever will you do with your free time? <smirk> Oh, and LOL, acs! Good one!

LOL! All that pacing is probably doing wonders for you, or is the stress-eating counteracting the pacing?
Enquiring minds want to know!

I've been away a few days and I feel like I've missed all the fun...and commisserating and celebrating.
Sorry igncogneato--what a drag! Don't give up. Go for the tests. Did Dottie say optimum testing age was 7.9?
Congrats Kriston and czechdrum--go to the gathering next year (we're not able to go this summer, but we should all plan for 2009)
EXPLORE Test scores finally arrived for DS9 and while I was hoping for across the board amazing scores, the one that stands out is math at 98% compared to 8th/9th graders (24 out of 25!). He is careless so I could easily see him filling in wrong circles even though he knows the math, so it's wonderful to me, and will hopefully support advanced programming next year.
His IQ testing indicated high in all areas, so I was surprised that Reading, Eng, and Sci were not all as stellar (though still great, and thoroughly graduating 8th/9th grade). It'll be so interesting when we receive DS13's scores who also took the EXPLORE this year as a freshman in high school, because it was required by his school (I hope he at least scored 24 in math).
