[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does this program work?  The beginning of this massively long thread notes "nomination" and then the end notes "application".  So what is it?  The website is very vague in terms of how one seeks entry.  (Unless I'm looking at the wrong page, which could be the problem.)[/quote]

Public and private high schools in Virginia nominate rising 11th & 12th graders for the program. There are limits per school/area, so depending on your school you may have a different application process. For example, if anyone had wanted to apply for the German World Language academy from our school, they could have applied. Many kids wanted to do some of the programs, like math and humanities, so those had an application process through the school/district before being sent to state. At the state level, the process is pretty opaque and no one seems to share the actual numbers of applicants. If students get in, they spend 3-4 weeks at on a Virginia college campus with other students and faculty who share their interest. [/quote]
