okay, i was just listening to "american pie" in the car, and i couldn't help but wonder.. are there any other CTYers in CB? (http://cty.jhu.edu)

or if you live in the south/midwest, any TIPers or CTDers?

eh, maybe this thread wasn't such a good idea. i mean, what are the chances.

CTY = Center for Talented Youth
sponsored by Johns Hopkins University

CTD = Center for Talent Development
sponsored by Northwestern University

TIP = Talent Identification Program
sponsored by Duke University

^Are we just assuming that's what we are or are people really in those..things?

screw this. :[

basically, they're summer programs at various universities. CTY was just a great experience for me.

dont think ive ever heard of it, but it sounds like fun

haha mindy, you're like hard-core over achiever.

i skipped TIP, because i didn't want to do it. so i forgot to give the forms to my parents.

it was just a really really really great experience. the people you meet there are just so .. alive. i can't believe you missed out on this, derrington! you should consider another summer program.. like.. something. oh oh, come to DC!

nope, this is the first time I've even heard about those things.

Hah CTY. I know a couple of people from my school that did that. Eh, I didn't feel like doing it, and my parents didn't want me to do it either, so I didn't. Ah, but I heard that it was a lot of fun.

nope first time ive heard about it

yes, i am a CTYer, or i used to be...i didnt go this year...

I'm qualified for CTY, but I don't wanna do it.

^ why not?

do they like send you stuff?

..i guess i don't qualify. :[

cty?
No idea what it is?
anyone wanna help me out?

Never heard of it.

What does listening to American Pie have to do with anything?
(:

^ it's the CTY theme song.

Oh a theme song. Haha lol thxs 4 explaining

Oh. Wow. I went CTY last year.
Awesome experience.

NERD LOVE. <3333

Not in the area, sorry dear.

You hate me now.

But Mindy, Mindy, I did wear my black and white dress. =D
Maybe that'll make you 'appier.

Man Mindy, you are too smart. Haha.

^ You know, I agree.....



But I still love you and your nerdyness that is so lovably nerdy... .. ness. =D

...nope. sorry, mindy! =P

Eh, never heard of them. Maybe coz I don't live in the States.
If I did, I would like to see what it's all about, though.

HEYYYY, I didn't take CTY but my sister did. She took Psychology or something and they just sat around and talked about how that person must of felt and she said it was like college without the work.

^ yeah, it is. we have so much free time, and they don't let you do work outside of class. mandatory fun is strictly enforced.

I've definitely heard of CTY, but it's waaaay far from where I live.

there's a site at loyola marymount college.. which is in CA.

are there sites in tennessee? or something like that?

unfortunately not. they're all in the mid-atlantic area.. and there's one on the west coast.

so... like DC area...

there's one in baltimore.. but not in DC.
derrington, you should go to the JSA summer program at georgetown!

stop with the acronyms! you could work for the government! "frist you have to fill out the NIL form to get your JEP authorization in order to file a WED claim and recieve FSE classification so you can gain access to the DEO"

what's JSA?

(and where's georgetown)

JSA is the Junior State of America... it's summer school hosted by America's best colleges. you take courses like AP Comparative Government, Political Philosophy, Foreign Policy, etc.

it's insanely pricey, though.

Georgetown University is a college in D.C. It has one of the best International Relations/Political Science program in the nation.

it's insanely preppy, though.

I dont live in america >;[
But, CTY sounds great, If I lived anywhere near it I'd go..

mindy, what's great about DC?

free museums? politics?

fairfax county is really really pretty.

fairfax county... the home of ebola reston. mm.

sounds fun.

ebola reston? eh?

ever read the hot zone?

nope.

read it, and you'll be scared of fairfax county.

i don't want to read it, then.
there are scary parts of fairfax county.. i think.

I went for two years, this year I just didn't want to go for some reason. Had a great time, though..

That's in L.A.

... Los Angeles is a good six hours (driving) away from us. :[

wow... you can drive 6 hours and still be in cali...

Yep. And that's not even from way up North. Bay Areaaa, dude. :D COME VISIT STANFORD.

hmmm... where are caltech and berkley located?

You can drive for 12 hours and still be in Cali. Right ?

I think you just go from the top and straight down.
