<p>what other differences are you talking about other than CTY being a little more challenging? Everyone's bring these differences up but they're not elaborating on them. kinda silly.</p>
<p>Yes, you're right. This whole thread has become rather silly and has moved away from what the point was intended to be--finding programs of substance for students in their post-sophomore year summer. CTY programs will certainly stand or fall on their merits, but shouldn't be summarily dismissed as worthless.</p>
<p>no, i was just wondering what these profound differences were that were implied? what are they! lol.</p>
<p>i did CTY... CTY 5-6th grade for two years, and the older students for three. i took ethics (my only challenging course, because i hadn't read any philosophy before that course), logic: principles of reasoning (i took the pretest and got a near 100%), and crafting the essay this year (knew all the stuff we learned already)...
moreover... when i tested in fifth grade... i scored really high on the PLUS, within the top ten of the girls in 5th grade on the math section... and again in seventh grade when i tested, i got into SET...
the courses don't really challenge me, and although the social experiance is incredible, i feel like i'm getting too old for CTY...</p>
<p>anyway... can we get off the topic of CTY?</p>
<p>ummm......TASS..what do you think of that? also, im planning on just working, volunteering, and maybe taking a class at a CC after soph year. no actual program. i think this would be a good idea. after eleventh grade if i dont get into tasp (i mean WHEN i dont get into TASP) im gonna volunteer at a camp for struggling kids.</p>
<p>I was reading about TASS but it seems that it is primary targeting African students or those who want to learn about Africa.</p>
