I’m currently a high school freshman and have interest in applying to the CTY summer program. Does anyone know how good it is? Thanks in advance!
Welcome to CC! How good it is really does depend on your definition of good.
Want to have a glorious three weeks filled with laughter and sponteneity and learning? Consider CTY.
Want to do something over the summer to boost your college apps? CTY isn’t the best for that.
Want to be challenged and make your head hurt for hours every day? Hard to say-- it depends on the class.
I went for two years and double-sessioned last year (gosh I love LAN) but chose to not go back this year so that I could go to a math camp. I adored everything about CTY.
I’d reccommend looking at realCTY, a CTY wiki; it is chock-full of interesting information and you can really get a sense of what it’s like.
Do you have talent search scores? If you don’t, it might be too late.
