SAT before 13th (urban legend or true?)

No need to take SAT early unless interested in a program, if the school uses it for some purpose or if the kid simply wants to see how he or she will do. One of my kids did this and did a CTY class; the others did not. It was a great experience for him.

As to the Jack Kent Cooke foundation, it is not at all affiliated with JHU, CTY, Duke, TIP or any of the other programs. The Talent Searches seem to suggest to kids that they apply (and at this point seems like a student has to be very low income to get a scholarship). The scholarship site says the foundation supports the child and pays for things like summer programs, tuition or technology.

Mini: are you saying that JKC uses CTY to do the advising and CTY is pushing their own programs (or was 10 years ago?). Interesting.
