[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's all fine and good, and probably a good experience. Although there are worse ways to spend the summer, all CTY signals is that mom and dad
paid for it. [/quote]

:roll: 
Moms and Dads pay for lots of different types of summer programs and camps, but you do have to score high enough on the SAT or ACT to attend CTY. They also offer financial aid.[/quote]

Do they take just average kids? You do need to score high enough on their tests, which are above grade level tests. If a 7th grader can score high enough on the SAT for CTY's cut off, that kid would not be just "average."

I have a kid who is average (and has ADHD) and a kid who qualified for CTY.

I have to say I was a bit skeptical about CTY.  The marketing was a bit much. The cost? Too much. When I called to ask questions, the folks weren't the nicest people.

We sent our kid anyway because the kid wanted to go. Holy smokes. The program was spectacular. CTY definitely knows what they are doing. My kid just loved it.  My big worry for next summer is that I won't find anything else comparable so we might just have to go back to CTY.  Will start saving now.
