HOW TO GET INTO CTY // Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth

[@sosassy2classy1]

CTY summer programs are honestly an amazing experience and I recommend that anyone who qualifies should go (I went to Lancaster too)

[@krystledicristofalo]

10/10 would recommend

[@laurenca.16]

I did to and I am a one more going back next year :)

[@karlacruz2403]

I’m so happy you made this video I recently got into this program and they told me I have the opportunity to travel abroad to universities such as Hong kong university its great

[@krystledicristofalo]

that's so exciting, congratulations!!

[@Ashley-wh5ph]

Ik this is months after you made this video and I just wanna say that I was selected for the cty program and I’m in sixth grade. It’s not the same grade level but I’m honestly confused- as the fact that I am a B- student. This video gave me an idea of why I was selected oh and the testing was extremely hard! Thank you so much. I might not attend the John Hopkins cty program as I got lots of other offers but this video helped me!

[@krystledicristofalo]

congratulations on being accepted!! even if you don't go to the summer program it's still super worth it to be part of it - there are so many other benefits

[@duhitscoral]

what other offers did you get? I wanna know some other summer programs and stuff I can sign up for soon!

[@meomeomeomeow]

This is 100% better than any infomercial CTY put out there, seriously they should pay you a commission:)

@CTY 👀

[@2008aa6]

Thanks for the video! My 10 year old 5th grader is going to take the SCAT tomorrow. I’m sure he will enjoy the courses if he gets in after hearing your experience!

[@2008aa6]

Coming to update he did get in and is headed to the summer residential camp!

[@kaidenshin5251]

Just tested for the Online SCAT! Got the result in 2 days 😂 . Passed with Advanced-CTY levels! This video makes me excited about the courses I'll take. Another great video.

[@krystledicristofalo]

CONGRATS and tysm :)))

[@tartaglia.]

Two days?! Lucky ASF! I first did the test when I was 7 years old- got Advanced English but only qualified for CTY - Level Math. I redid the test approximately 5 days ago, and I’m yet to receive any results.

[@mayaoppong8847]

I saw you at the airport this past week and I wish I had said hi but I was too shy.😭😭😭 Anyways, great video!

[@krystledicristofalo]

omg I feel like a celebrity! I totally would’ve said hi if you came up 😊

[@aaronbedi132]

If u wanna join city and have the chance to do it. Do it! It’s pretty lit. Good experience in everything to class, people, and overall environment.

[@krystledicristofalo]

[@LilacDeiji]

i'm doing cty this summer! i'm really proud of my test scores (i'm in 6th grade, and i got what 9th graders are "supposed" to get) :D

[@Qweeby77]

i got into advanced cty for math and english in like 3rd grade.without caring and im so glad i did

[@redacted093]

bro same i didn’t even study

[@ale-zz2bt]

@@redacted093 you take the SCAT?

[@farmaanpannu2373]

I am in it and have been. since 2nd grade. It is amazing

[@krystledicristofalo]

aww yay, always love meeting fellow CTYers!

[@Speakoutloud807]

That’s awesome! What did you take for 2nd grade? Language? Or English?

[@amarverma6723]

Really., you have a great mom. 👍, even most of the people just don't aware of these academic opportunities. 😐

[@hannahherrmann4921]

i checked my act scores for eligibility and tbh i was really surprised they were high enough. i’m gonna go harass my school about replacing their courses with cty ones because this sounds super cool.

[@marciewebster2490]

omg this is great!! (came here from tiktok) 🎉

[@krystledicristofalo]

yay glad you enjoyed! everyone come hang out on tiktok @krystledicristofalo

[@alicexu2394]

I'm applying for CTY this summer, ahhhh I hope I get in! Thanks for the tips! Question: I'm 13 right now, can I still get into SET?

[@krystledicristofalo]

^ this is correct

[@AvonRBLX]

Im in cty for 5th grade we do courses in normal classes on computers.

[@anikaupadhya3486]

I did online CTY in grade 8 I wish I did physical CTY. But this was so helpful

[@planetn8702]

I am eligible for the CTY Math program. Is online better or summer camp?

[@psudoctor3336]

My 5th grade son just got into CTY yesterday and will be doing Robotics at Ursinus College this summer. Thanks for the informative video. He placed with Grand Honors but not really sure what this means. Is there an award ceremony?

[@krystledicristofalo]

congratulations, and you're so welcome!! yes, there is an award ceremony - it was in maryland the year i won. you'll probably get the information soon!

[@elizabeth1927]

for the summer camp, if ur not a cty membor already, but u qualify test-wise, if there anything else u need to do for the application or are u in (im in 10th grade btw)

[@krystledicristofalo]

You just need to send in your test scores to them and, once accepted, fill out the application for the camp (no essays or anything, just picking your top choices etc.)

[@djbrosfamily8017]

Is there a fee for summer program ?

[@laurenca.16]

I want to Haverford for cty!!!!

[@krystledicristofalo]

woot!!!

[@SherryYamaha]

If you get in but then don't end up taking any courses, is there still value in adding the accomplishment of being accepted into the program on your college applications? Or if you take the courses and don't get A's or B's can you list the course without the grade on your application or will they want the transcript?

[@krystledicristofalo]

there isn't necessarily value if you don't take courses because colleges look for what you do with your intelligence/the value of your hard work, not just the fact that you scored highly at a young age!

[@francestan70]

Thank you very much, I am thinking to apply for my 8th grade son for the summer camp, due to Covid they only offers online course, do you think it is worth to sign up even they are not meeting in person? You mentioned for 8th grade or higher, applicants need to take PSAT 8/9 not SCAT correct?

[@ginaseo36]

I’m in 9th grade, but I was able to apply by taking the online SCAT if you still need to know.

[@anikaupadhya3486]

@@ginaseo36 Same I'm in grade 8 and I'm taking mine tomm Was it hard

[@Jacob-we6ue]

I’m kind of confused. Is it free?

[@leepfi]

Not even close lol i did it and its like $3-4k per camp 💀😭

[@MB-fr6gu]

Great video..how can I find like these programs in any state.. Can I have sat and act on 12 grade

[@krystledicristofalo]

CTY is valid in any state! There's also Duke TIP and Northwestern CTD

[@amarverma6723]
