Qualifying students become eligible for Summer Studies , eStudies , and discounts on other educational programs. Scholar Weekends are also available to 7 th th grade students and focus on specific advanced topics Shakespeare, genetics, etc. Many other university and private programs exist. Most include prominent local or national speakers, workshops, field trips, and other career exploration activities. Programs may vary from a few days to two weeks. Here are a few:. Overall it seems like the summer studies programs have been great for her even though they are expensive.
She took the qualifying test in 6th or 7th grade I cannot remember. I am a Tipster, and will be going back for my 4th year this summer. I say, if you have the opportunity and the finances to pay for it, it is totally worth it.
While it does look great on college applications, the main reason I love it so much is the once-in-a-lifetime experience it can give you. While I loved the class, I was very introverted, and was nervous to make new friends. However, I made some of the closest friends I have ever made, and I wish I still kept in contact with some of them.
This past summer, after my freshman year, I went to the Neuroscience program at Georgia Tech. Even though the friends I made live across the country, I still keep up with these people closer than I do with people who went to middle school with me. I love the academic side of the program because of the interesting classes that I would not be able to take at my school, like neuroscience. I also love that all of the people in the program are equally as excited to learn as I am. One of the things I struggle with most about school is that I am one of the only people who is genuinely interested in the subjects.
When I went to camp, I found people who were interested in gaining more knowledge and broadening their horizons as I was. The social aspect of the program is also very valuable. The activities after class have been some of the best times I have ever had. From Tip Prom, to going to a basketball game, to TipSync lip sync competition , everyone has a blast.
It has been the best part of my summers thus far. This summer I am planning on taking the anatomy course at Duke West.
I hope to meet up with some of my friends from last year, and catch up with them. All of the comments are greatly appreciated. As a college professor, I am confident that almost anyone can be trained to crush the ACT.
Yes, it is a learnable test as with most of these ridiculous by necessary measures, including the IQ test. We took the challenge, but only with the mind frame of having fun with the process. One suggestion — we had an app that provided a few questions a day. That was a perfect balance between no preparation and extensive preparation. The entire family would chime in on some of the problems, and we all learned in the process.
The results were mixed, but we made it! Not sure about the cost factor, but will probably bit the bullet, pack the bags, and head east! In closing, is there anyone who, given enough conditioning, could not smash this silly test? There is a whole other world out there — this test is not even an atom of it all. Thank you for sharing! My beginning of the year fourth grader received an invitation to this program.
I am researching and trying to learn about it. From what I gather he would be testing on 8th grade material? Any insight for such a young child would be appreciated. He definitely would not be going on overnight stays.
If you think your child will find the experience fun and challenging, do it. Do you think 7th graders prepare for these tests? I just let my daughter browse through the practice test a week before the test, as the students were supposed to not practice for this test. Over the years I have received some requests to prep 7th graders for these exams, so I know some families take that approach. This is an amazing program, I am a current 3rd year student and i love every year that I go.
But the people at this program hold different beliefs than me. This has never caused any tension, but this year as political tensions are rising in the united states, students with different views than the rest of the student body are being targeting and many students have been trying to get others kicked out for their beliefs. I would recommend not to give business to the program, and find other, more affordable, more politically neutral programs that truly treat students equally. I will not be returning to Duke TiP next year.
Our daughter was one of 3 who were invited to join the DTIP program. After researching it, we were excited to give her the opportunity to gauge her level of education. Presently, she scores high in reading, writing, and literature skills. We contacted them and set up a test date of November 3. My wife received an email stating that my daughter needed to review her sample test booklet and make sure she had her ticket to gain entry on the test date.
Test booklet? We had received neither.
