- I remember once hearing if the score was really high they have have to have it verified. Maybe the wait is going to be really good news. I would call again on Monday if you still don't have it.

  - if "really good news" means a remarkably high score, that isn't always "really good news" at H.

    - what exactly is a remarkably high score? I mean, a 148 or 150 is pretty damn high already!

- We were told that as well. We waited 7 weeks for score. I don't know if this is relevant but DCs score was very high - more than 160. So I'm presuming she is in Round II. I am hoping like hell she gets in!

  - But I thought H purposefully does not take very very high scorers. Also, per the poster above.

    - :( I hope that's not true. FWIW, DC seems bright to me but does not strike me as really, scary smart. I am thinking she just had a good day and did well on the test. Oh well, use trying to peer into my crystal ball I suppose.

      - I'm sorry I wasn't suggesting that about a 160, maybe that means 175 or something - but I have heard it said. GL!

    - I was told by DOA last year that the 2nd round doesnot consider SB score. DCs were selected purely based on 2nd round evaluation. no SB score counts in 2nd round.

  - Is 160 the ceiling for the SSS or the SB5-IQ?

    - No, ceiling is 190.

- FWIW, this happened to us last year. The psychologist later told us that she had scored DD higher, but she was "comfortable with the ultimate score." DD qualified for Round 2 and ultimately was offered a spot. I would say your DC's shot at Round 2 is looking really good. GL!

- For those of you who have gotten really high scores- at what age could you tell that your DC is extremely bright? was there a specific moment?

- sooner or later it's got to peak! Last yrs unprecedented 148 will most likely become todays 150.

I don't know, but I have been expecting it in the mail every day for 4 weeks now!

which psych? not that I know anything, just curious.

And that will help you how?

I remember once hearing if the score was really high they have have to have it verified. Maybe the wait is going to be really good news. I would call again on Monday if you still don't have it.

mog, nice to get her hopes up!
