[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My gifted kid was challenged at Wilson. AP classes kept DC busy. Senior year DC was enrolled at Georgetown through HISCIP and took three classes, one fall semester, two in the spring. DC was able to transfer 12 credits from Georgetown freshman year of college.

This is great to know this is possible, thanks for posting! How often are students able to do this? Was your child an outlier?[/quote]

HISCIP is a program available to all DCPS students. You apply junior year. Georgetown, GWU, Howard, Trinity, AU, Catholic, and UMD all participate. No, DC was not really an outlier. [/quote]

Thanks! Funny, I have read a fair bit of DCUM, at least recently, but had never heard of this program.[/quote]

NP. It's been around since I was in HS back in the 80's.  Most people on DCUm only like to talk about what DCPS does not have, and rarely mention anything positive. It is for that reason this may be the first time you've heard about the high school college internship program. [/quote]
