<p>I figured this was close to college admissions. >_></p>

<p>Is anyone familiar with the Governor's School of New Jersey? Is it impossibly hard to get admitted? What are the academics like there?</p>

<p>Thank you for your time.</p>

<p>My D is currently at the Gov School for International Studies and is finding it a lot of work!</p>

<p>If you're interested, you should speak to your guidance counselor.</p>

<p>I wouldn't get too excited about it - since Corzine took away funding a couple of years ago the program has gotten smaller and smaller. Governor's School for the Arts was cut from 4 weeks to something like 9 days this year. Who knows if they will have enough funding to have the program at all in the future.</p>
