Chenchuan,
I loved your daughter's essay. How wonderful! I really wanted my son to write something after his summer experience, and I even saw some notes he was making, but no essay ever emerged...
This summer he will do cty and maybe we'll have better success than duke tip (with regard to actually writing about it afterward)--he absolutely Loved Duke tip; we went through all the course offerings of the talent search summer institutes (except Rocky Mountain because they haven't published their courses yet!) and the one he wanted happened to be in cty
About the price--residential programs are expensive, but the summer institutes have been so worthwhile (I justify it because my kiddos go to public school and so this is the one big educational expense of the year, that still doesn't compare to private school tuition).
