DD report arrived and she meets numerical criteria with 147 on the WISC 5 Verbal (full scale 139) but lower on the WIAT III (141 math, 136 reading). Is it worth applying or is the application pretty hard and fast based on numbers?

Others who have more experience on this can comment on their success with the portfolio-based application.
Good luck!

Yes, I think you probably need to supplement those tests with a portfolio. If you search on "portfolio" here, you should come up with a bunch of threads with suggestions.

Or, if she is old enough, take EXPLORE through NUMATS or Duke TIP.

As a parent, I might look further into why her IQ exceeds her achievement, for example... any learning disabilities?

As a parent, I might look further into why her IQ exceeds her achievement, for example... any learning disabilities? It's a six-point difference. If the subtest scores show identifiable scatter, maybe, but I wouldn't necessarily go looking for a learning disability on the basis of what we know here.

Nor would I limit myself to looking for a learning disability. However I would look further into the difference. Possibly the test reports contain meaningful clues? Possibly there's been lack of challenge, as brainstormed by puffin?

Yes, in the absence of additional information, the differences across the data posted are not statistically significant.
