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

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.

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.
