<p>BUA is hosting a SIG program this summer. [Summer</a> Institute for the Gifted at Boston University Academy - Day Summer Program for Gifted and Talented Students](<a href=“http://www.giftedstudy.com/day/buacademy/index.asp]Summer”>http://www.giftedstudy.com/day/buacademy/index.asp)</p>

<p>I have looked into SIG in the past and came to the conclusion that it is at best a “pretender program”. Others on CC have shared personal experiences that support my impression (see post referenced below).</p>

<p>I have no connection to BUA but hosting SIG leaves me nonplussed if I am feeling charitable.</p>

<p>For those with BUA connections can you fill us in?</p>
