Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment Anyone submitting to DYS in February?

Well, the time has come to get our application in the mail.

DD turned 5 yesterday, and I think I am ready for the next step.

I have not finished filling out the application yet, since I just cannot figure out what shows her above grade level abilities and what is just "advanced".

We are only submitting IQ scores and a portfolio of work. (we do have placement test results from her school too)

I guess I was just starting up a thread to see if anyone else is going to be watching and waiting this month.

Well, off to work on those application questions again.

Good luck! We were just accepted. I hope other reply for you. It's nice to have company.

We are sending the application for our DS7 in February....(finally, after months of "thinking about it"). Looking forward to getting it out of my hands and into someone else's.

We sent one in January, so waiting to hear next month. The application was not all that difficult once I got started on it. My DS is 8 though, so maybe the questions are easier to answer by that age. Good luck!

Good luck for both of you!

We too are sending the application in February. We hope DS5 will get to join his older brother (DYS7).

We only got DS5 achievement test scores last week. I must admit that we haven't started working on the application yet but I did ask for the recommendation letters earlier this week. We have both IQ and achievement test results. Hopefully they will be good enough.

Good luck to everybody waiting. I am glad I have a company to wait with

It is nice to have company.

Good luck to all our families!

Wolf's (5.6) application should be going in within the next week. I'm just now trying to edit together the videos we've taken of him to send in a sample of him in action.

I am also going to apply this month for my DS who is 9 - I just have to stop procrastinating . Unfortunately, this is my downfall that seems to work best for me but college and grad school were very stressful . But I'm glad to hear that once you get going on the application it gets easier. Well good luck to everyone and hopefully I get it in on time!!!!!.

It's going in the envelope tonight and to the post office tomorrow...
