Decisions, Decisions!

As some of you know, i recently took the SAT to get into CTY. I really want to get in but I want to have alternatives in case i dont get into CTY. Researching academic camps made me relize that there are tons of great camps out there. In fact, some of them sound even better than CTY. I've narrowed it down to five camps. They all sound great but i cant decide which one i want to go to, so i figured i would let you help me choose.

1. The Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth.
Pros:

• Cty offers a wide range of classes in writing, humanities, math and science
• My sister attended and had a great experience
• I would stay in a dorm room with a room mate, which would help me make lasting friends and become more independent

• There are dances and free time

Cons:

• CTY is very expencive, i would only be able to go once
• I would have limited options of colleges to attend
• The camp lasts three weeks, which would take up lots of my summer
  

Mississppi State University Summer Scholars Camp
Pros:

• The camp has two parts, both of which i am interested in, a play writing part and an acting part
• I would get lots of experience and this would really help me with getting into the high school musical.

• Mississippi is very close to where my family is so getting there would be easy

Cons:

• Part of the camp is song and dance auditions, i am not an excellent dancer so that would give me a disadvantage
• I wouldnt know which program to choose, I would really like to learn more about writing scripts but most of the people there have way more experience than i do
