I was/am in GT or GATE (for u cali kids). When we were in elementary + junior high, it was so awesome because we were exposed to these higher level concepts and got to do fun projects (of course, it was fun to ppl that were in the program, if GT wasn’t your thing, they would just appear tedious). In junior high and even in first two years of high school, it got a little annoying if you were in all GT classes because you’d see the same kids in every class (lol, even today, the GT kids date within the group…seems almost like a rotation kinda thing) - they were cream of the crop of course, but when I dropped out of GT history into an Honors World history class, it was a very different environment, but a rewarding experience regardless- I didnt feel shafted just because I “dropped” from a GT class into PreAP.

I must admit being labeled GT has one …heh, fruity advantage- ppl naturally give you more pennies for your thought - even if it’s total BS (though if u’re identified as “gifted” you were probably blessed with that innate talent anyway…)
