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

I haven't really thought about it too much since we submitted the application. I hope to wait till March before I start checking my e-mail obsessively.

haha...I am OCD by nature...so I am checking daily already. More wine and chocolate anyone?

I think I will need to up my Pilates to 4 days a week if I keep hitting the wine and sweets.

Okay, it is Saturday and I think I am officially going nuts!
I know there is no chance in hearing anything from DYS over the weekend, so I guess I better start cleaning the house.

I am almost afraid to ask, but......Has anyone heard from DYS regarding their application yet?

Nope. Been watching this thread hoping someone posts the second they find out! LOL

Nothing here. When we applied for DS7 in Jan 08 we got the written reply before the end of January. While I don't expect such a fast response this time around I am sure I will start looking for one next week.

Haha...of course we had to apply in February, with 2 school holidays and a shortened month. I sure hope next week brings us the news.

it's been 3 weeks, stress stress stress...i could SO use their help right now!!

Has it been already 3 weeks? I thought it will be 3 weeks next Monday as the earliest they could have started the review process was Feb 15th.

I must admit that I've started checking out my e-mail obsessively even though I don't expect to hear anything till the next week. On the other hand, the SCAT detailed report should have already been here

As for getting help if your child gets admitted it will take at least another month before everything is set up as there is additional paperwork to be filled out, accounts to be set, etc.

I also applied this month. But I was wondering if anyone could tell me if DYS could help me answer some questions and give me some guidance about what to do with a few situations at my son's school. I really need some advice and I don't know where else to go. Does anyone know if they are available in this way even if your child has not gotten in yet or may not get in at all? Thank you so much.
