Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment Questions about DYS application

It's a rolling deadline, so they review apps after the 15th of every month. You usually get the news right around the 15th of the following month. So I wouldn't expect to hear anything until around July 15th.

Time for a new waiting thread!

I bet the waiting is so hard....hang in there!

Question. Has anyone been asked for more testing? We didn't get a solid no but a send in another IQ (not surprised as our WJ-III are easily viewed as 99.9 but the WPSII was barely coming in at requirement. I think we can re-test at a school without cost... worth it or is this just how they say no?

Hi Kickball,

We were originally asked for more testing and later accepted into the program. Definitely worth a try.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and I'm sure I'll be able to hold out until then. Kriston- perhaps it would be a good idea to have a new waiting thread.

We'll be there with you if you start one! Holding virtual hands and doing our best to distract you from how long it takes for the mail to arrive each day...

Thanks for that Kriston. Think I'll do the waiting for letter thread when it gets a little closer.

Good luck with the application. I too would expect the results in a month at this time of year, you know vacations and such. We were lucky and got our reply in little over 2 weeks, but I think that was an exception. It actually was in the mailbox for at least a day because I didn't expect it so soon.

Kickball, lots of people are asked for more testing or additional portfolio. It's really not unusual.

Thought I'd try to help on the timing...we were in the May batch and got our letter yesterday (June 14th)! Just about exactly a month after the 15th. And, we got good news! DS5 is now DYS! Good luck to your family!

Congratulations! I'm jealous (or is it envious?) but very happy for you.
