PSAT scores for JHU's CTY's Summer Program

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hi, My math PSAT ninth grade score is 71. Will this be good enough to get into JHU CTY’s Summer Program? I want to go for either their intensive studies genetics or neuroscsience course.I know its way above their cut off scores, but I haven’t participated in any of their programs (including their talent search) so it will be harder for me to get in.</p>

<p>First you have to register for talent search, and submit scores to them. Course selection opens in January, and theres a whole process for preferrence to get into specific classes. Neuroscience is very popular and fills quickly. Genetics doesn’t fill quite as fast but is popular too. Get moving</p>

<p>I can’t register for the talent search as I am in ninth grade. I have already taken the PSAT and will be taking the SCAT next Friday. I’ll be submitting both my scores.</p>

<p>Then you’ll need to call them to ask how to register.<br>
Make sure you send proof you will have completed Biology, or it will hold up your Neuroscience registration</p>

<p>I was under the impression that you had to apply or reapply in 7th grade to qualify, and if you did then you could take classes from 7th grade and upwards. Call them to confirm if you can do it as a 9th grader. Addtionally, they usually look at SAT or ACT scores for 7th grade, not PSAT scores.</p>

<p>According to their website you can take the SAT, ACT, PSAT, SCAT, or STB if you are a ninth grader, but I’ll call them and ask just to be sure.</p>

<p>You can qualify at any age, but the scores go up for each year. They will take PSAT, based on SAT scores (convert by adding “0” to the end of each score). The main problem is that he wants to take very popular classes, and the method of class selection will work against him.</p>

<p>Stundents as “ranked” and once a week they go through the list of students in rank order, and place them in classes. First will be those who previously attended a summer program, in descending order of their qualifying score. Then will be other talent search members, again in descending order. Then they will get to him, because he is not a talent search member - and he will get his class if it is not yet full. If he doesn’t send proof that he has taken (or is taking) Biology, he won’t be put in a class with it as a prerequisite (neuroscience).</p>
