Math Programs

Is it common for kids that get through AP Calc in high school often really “catch” the competition math kids in mathematics? I guess the same probably goes for the kids who compete in the sciences too?

We have gone to some of the math competitions nearby and the kids that win are pretty amazing and they are doing math that is not often taught in school which presumably gives them a deeper understanding.

@Cwela23 - My daughter did All Girls All Math at Nebraska. Great program. Didn’t require a math problem solving set in order to enter. It was residential for 1 week and reasonably priced.
