How difficult is it to get it? It is very competitive, selective? Please share your experience. Thanks
My overall sense is that these are programs designed to create revenue and market interest in the school – and as a result, not so hard to get into --, but I don’t know that for a fact. From kids I know who did these, the application seems to have been designed to weed out the kids who are going to be problems rather than to “select the best”.
Most summer programs (and I am thinking along the lines of CTY) tend to fill quickly after being opened - in part because they are serving as needed day care for working parents (like camp) , and that is often the trickiest part of getting in. I don’t have recent experience with applying, though.
