They get recruited through the Center for Talented Youth at Johns Hopkins University and the Duke Talent Identification Program. Both are opportunities for young talents to test into and obtain “training” that will help them pursue their natural abilities.
******************
Although my husband and I could not afford to send our three children to the Duke-TIP summer programs, we certainly did receive a lot of college recruiting materials, most of which ended up in File 13.
Even if we had the financial means, our kids were not very interested in going away from home. Well, except for their visiting family, attending church and 4-H camp for a few days, and our vacations to the beach or mountains to trout fish.
How grateful I am!!!
Both kids did TIP. Summer camp for nerds. No follow up except to ask for money.
