Good Point Dottie!
Although if you are allowed to use the phone, I'll bet a phone call to CTY would speed things up a bit, and perhaps yeild some advice about the grade skip. At the very least you could get some 'reference' about how 'exceptional' you really are.
I'm spending time at this link printing out summer classes choices for their summer camp.
http://www.cty.jhu.edu/summer/catalogs/os/oscatalog.html Do you know anyone who has done these camps before? My son met a whole bunch of really fun kids at MIT's Splash the weekend before Thanksgiving who had attended and loved their experience.
Of course next year you can consider attending:

Some kids love these camps so much that they 'live summer to summer' which I think is happy and sad at the same time. If it 'keeps hope alive' during a dull school year, then it's a good thing, but why not have this all the time?
Smiles,
