Application Process
Apply online or download an application. Courses will be assigned on a rolling basis beginning January 24. For course assignment purposes, applications received on or before January 23 will all be considered to have arrived on the same date. If on January 24 there are more applications than spaces available, CTY will use a selection process that gives preference to students in the 11th and 12th grades and to students who have yet to attend the Princeton location. Notification
Students who apply on or before January 23 will be notified of their course assignment status by email on January 25. After that, if there is still space available, students who apply by Wednesday of a given week will be notified of their status by email on Friday of that week. Accepted students receive a Course Assignment Packet with all relevant details about the program and site, including travel information, opening and closing day schedules, a list of things to bring, health and medical information, rules and policies, etc. The Course Assignment Packet will be mailed within approximately two weeks of the email course assignment notifications.
Late Applications
Late applications (postmarked after April 19, 2008) are accepted and considered as space in the program permits.
