Summer camp/studies like duke tip?
I found a summer camp online called SIG (Summer Institute for the gifted). The admissions criteria is- Talent Search Participation, 95th percentile or above on a huge list of tests that you can find at the site, participation in school gifted programs, gifted SAT, PSAT, ACT, or SSATB score, or if nothing else 2 teacher recommendations, and even if he does not meet any of the above criteria, they have some system where he still could go if you call some number. I believe you get to take 5 courses, but they all look pretty fun. Good luck with that......... but I'm really sorry because this is not going to answer your question at all, but....... I just got my results and got a 1920 (as a duke tip 7th grader). 660-math, 610-reading, 650-writing. My parents did not expect me to get anywhere near this, but since I did, they want to let me go to the summer camp if I want to. I'm not really a social person, so the thought of a 3 week camp sort of intimidates me, but with course titles like "Psychology", "Architecture", "Engineering Problem Solving" and many other ones, none of them sound UN fun! I mean, I guess I'm sort of being a major nerd here, but my schools stuff is SO EASY. Even the honors stuff. So actually learning something sounds sort of fun, especially with the stuff I've heard about the camp. So if you went to the Center Studies thing, can you tell me if I should do it, what course I should take, and anything I did not mention? So maybe add details or email me or something if you want to. THanks!
