    Anyone on this board has experience with THINK?
    I am very seriously considering dispatching Ghost(incoming seventh grader) there next summer. There are several reasons:
    1. He loved RMTS Summer Institute he attended last summer
    2. Loves being away from his parents for extended periods of time...
    3. THINK requires the highest SAT result of any other summer gifted institudes, the number Ghost easily surpasses. I see this as a way of getting to know his intellectual peers.
    4. We live in Utah, THINK is in Nevada !!!
    Would be grateful for any personal stories.

    Ania,

    Regarding The Think Summer Institute--

    My then 13 yo son attended Think last summer, and it was wonderful. I cannot say enough about this excellent program. Outstanding, fantastic, the best anywhere. My son is not exactly a teacher pleaser, and he had always been in the regular classroom until Think. He matured in many ways, learned study skills for the first time in his life, and met mental peers. It changed his life and showed him that education was interesting and fun. By the way, since attending Think's Chemistry Class, my son has wanted to be a chemist. Think's Chem Professor was the most inspiring teacher my son ever had--exceptional.

    I do not think you can go wrong with anything Davidson Institute does. They are first class.
