Please know that it is not based on GPA itself.
It is definitely completely unrelated to geographic distance. In fact, at the event, at the welcoming, they read off every state and country represented there that day and I'd say almost every state was represented. As the above member wrote, no matter where you live, you would need advance notice in order to plan to attend. Plenty of kids were there from NY, NJ, CT, and PA. In fact, I know someone who was there who lived in Manhattan. I recall at Tisch Scholars, they went around the circle and asked everyone to introduce themselves and where they were from and I was smiling when one girl (who has now become a very good friend of my D's and who also was in CAP21) gave the number of the street in Manhattan she was from and I thought, gee, she didn't have to come too far! |
