CTY

Ok I just really want to say one thing. CTY is awesome. CTY, to be frank is, quite simply, nerd camp. Nevertheless, it is awesome. It isn't your typical nerd camp. For one thing it's a 3-week residential camp at several notable universities around the country. It also is more elite than many nerd camps: you must take the SATs to get in and score at least over 1100 combined in math and english. You can feel pretty outclassed, though. Some of the CTYers scored over 2000 points on all three subjects combined...in middle school. It is more than just nerd camp, though. It is an opportunity for us to interact with other kids with our interests, and those at a similar intellectual level. Everyone at CTY is also expected to have some quirks, too. Many attendees are almost insane, but when you get to know them, everyone is awesome. In short, CTY is the greatest camp in existence. Btw, you just lost the game.
