I have participated in duke TIP and just yesterday I got 3 awards. Grand, State and a TCU scholarship for auditing a summer course which I unfortunately will not be able to do becaus eof my crazy summer schedule. I was one of only 3 people who qualified for the scholarship out of everyone there(about 3-500 people I think. Took 45 min to read all the names. and those were just the people who got state)

[offtopic]I really hate dressing up for events like this. I had too where a tie comb my hair(which I never do if I can avoid it). My parents did allow me to where my nice looking black tennis shoes instead of dress shoes.

Duke TIP is for 7th grade(12-13) and is given to the more 'gifted' students. Usually they ask you to apply, I'm not sure if you would actually have to try to apply its like $20-40. I'm not sure about what that would be I know ACT not PSAT or SAT.

EDIT:I looked and its only in like 17 states of the US and for a few foreign students from the US it happens towards the beginning of the school year. I took my test in November registered in September or October

You lucky. I only got a free audit course. I would have liked to get the free summer course but I was a few points below that level. That is the top 40 only. I acually got the summer program I'm going to this year through Duke TIP. Its the Advance program and its expensive ~$2000

lol Ashbad. they also have a 4-5th program but I don't know about that since I never was in it.

I may have heard of it before, but I don't remember. Seventh grade was a while ago.

Its a nice program.
