[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does one apply for such programs? Do you have to be nominated by your school?[/quote]

DC got accepted this summer for Humanities so I can you the process this year. It's probably the same timeline every year.

Oct 20- School sent Gov School Announcement 
Oct 20- The student submits interest form (required to attend interest meeting) 
Oct 26 - The student attends interest meeting 
Nov 15- First part of applications due to the counselor- Application has test scores, activities- The counselor will verify test scores- CogAT, SAT etc. )
Dec 7  Student submits the rest of the application to the counselor- recommendation letters and essay. 
Jan 27- The school nominated 10 to move forward to the county level. 
Feb 25-  DC got a notification about advancing to the state level. 
April 15- Got notified that DC was accepted.

Long process. Lots of waiting so we had to have backup plans. 
DC went to [b]Johns Hopkins CTY for years[/b] so it was a relief to not have to pay a lot this summer.

Wouldn't call it privilege exactly.

- Signed, Immigrant family who wanted to support DC's education even though it was financially a stretch, but couldn't find free programs that were available for residential summers until Governor's school. [/quote]
