Hi I'm going to Davidson, North Carolina for the first term and I was wondering if anyone else was going to be there. Please respond.

The TIP program is a program run by Duke University for middle school-age students to attend. It's for students who are near the top of their classes grade-wise. TIP is an acronym for something if I'm not mistaken but it's been a while since I was getting information from them (at least 10 years) so the details are pretty sketchy.

I am, it's for people who did well on the leap test from 6th grade who took the ACT or SAT and if you were one of the top ten percent, you can go to a college for summer camp and if you keep your grades up, you might get a scholarship to Duke.

Oh so they don't bother about English?

They do it's just that the reason I'm there is math.
