<p>I am a rising sophomore and I will be applying to the Texas Academy of Math and Science (TAMS) in the coming year.</p>

<p>The Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science (at the University of North Texas) is a highly selective program for juniors and seniors living in Texas. Only about 200 sophomores (only from Texas) are accepted into it for their junior year each year.</p>

<p>TAMS students graduate in two years with an advanced high school diploma and 60 or more transferable college credits – enough to start their college junior year at UNT or other universities nationwide, two-years ahead of their age-mates. (copied from website)
Here’s a link that gives more information about the program.
