Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to be accepted into the DYS program with "slightly less" than the minimum score guidelines set forth on the Davidson Institute's web site?
We just received our DS5's test results and written report. For the IQ test, he was 4 points shy of the required minimum score (he took the WPPSI-III). The evaluator mentioned several times that she felt his FSIQ was likely an underestimate, and described why she felt this was the case. For the achievement tests, he was WAY off the chart on both reading and math, so he easily meets the minimum requirements there.
So, has anyone ever been in a similar situation, applied to DYS, and been accepted?
I plan on applying, because the scores just seem too close not to (it can't hurt to try, right?) If I do, there are one or two pieces of work that I can include as well (I don't really have a "portfolio" for him, alot of what he does, especially with math, he does in his head).
Any advice or experience with this situation would be greatly appreciated!
