How important is the IQ evaluation? What weight does it carry in the admissions process?
The IQ evaluation provides a snapshot of your child’s cognitive skills at a particular point in time. It can also provide important insights about your child’s learning style. Candidates need to score in the admissions range to be considered for admission to Nueva. For that reason, it is the first step in the application process. However, there are many facets of functioning that the tests do not measure. For instance, they cannot determine motivation, curiosity, “social intelligence”, resilience, or creative talent. All of these factors are reviewed and taken into consideration by the Admissions Committee through the additional application materials and activities.
