Moving to the area next year...What is the age/grade requirements for this program?

Yes we are waiting!

Is anybody waiting for a decision this year? They are supposed to inform the applicants next week.

Doubt the latter is at all true. DD was accepted to Steam with just her teacher recommendation and a personal statement - TJ admission would be quite a different story!

They are setting themselves up as an alternative to TJ that's accessible to the whole state. It's already harder to get into the summer program than it is to get into TJ.

I wonder if the 500 was for the whole program or just one course?

I would have thought they would have gotten 500 applications just from the NoVa area!

They had over 500 applications for 120 spots, and a number of the kids are "returning."

anyone not heard yet? We haven't and DD is fretting...

have not heard anything. which email did you all get results -- kid's email account or parent's email? thanks.

Just got accepted email for ds about half an hour ago.

DD has not heard yet - website states they would notify everyone "by April 24th".

We weren't accepted and found out today.

I thought they said they would notify everyone on 4/24.

Not sure how many people from this forum applied to this free one week camp. Have many people heard back already from this camp re acceptance to this summer's 2 sessions? Does not hearing until the 24th mean the student was not accepted?

(Trying to sort out the summer schedule...)

Thanks
