I have participated in duke TIP and just yesterday I got 3 awards. Grand, State and a TCU scholarship for auditing a summer course which I unfortunately will not be able to do becaus eof my crazy summer schedule. I was one of only 3 people who qualified for the scholarship out of everyone there(about 3-500 people I think. Took 45 min to read all the names. and those were just the people who got state)
Duke TIP is a program by Duke university to find and educate Gifted and talented students. Its main course os for 7th grade students. It has them take either the ACT or SAT college entrance exams. there are two levels of recognition in it. state and Grand.
State is: top 50% of everyone who takes the test(mainly high school students for college)
ACT
ACT English ≥ 20
ACT Math ≥ 20
ACT Reading ≥ 21
ACT Science ≥ 21
* Or with three of the four following scores English = 19, Math = 19, Reading = 20, Science = 20
SAT
SAT Math ≥ 520
SAT Critical Reading ≥ 510
SAT Writing ≥ 500
*Or with two of the three following scores: Math = 510, Critical Reading = 500, Writing = 490
Grand is:top 10% of everyone who takes the test(mainly high school students for college)
ACT
ACT English ≥ 28
ACT Math ≥ 28
ACT Reading ≥ 30
ACT Science ≥ 26
ACT Composite ≥ 26
SAT
SAT Math ≥ 670
SAT Critical Reading ≥650
SAT Writing ≥ 650
SAT Math + Critical Reading + Writing ≥ 1850
I took the ACT and got
30 composite(96 percentile)
26 English
28 Science
32 Mathematics
36 Reading(99 percentile)
The percentile are out of all students who take the test(mainly high schoolers taking it for college)
[offtopic]I really hate dressing up for events like this. I had too where a tie comb my hair(which I never do if I can avoid it). My parents did allow me to where my nice looking black tennis shoes instead of dress shoes.

I don't know what it is and I don't think I can apply yet :P but, how would I fare with my PSAT scores?
Math = 80
Reading = 74
Writing = 72
Total = 226 (2260 on the SAT, I guess)
Of course, my SAT scores aren't nearly as high, I'm only ~1800 due to my poor vocab skills <_< however, I don't have to take it for 2 years, so plenty of time I guess. When do you have to apply by?

Duke TIP is for 7th grade(12-13) and is given to the more 'gifted' students. Usually they ask you to apply, I'm not sure if you would actually have to try to apply its like $20-40. I'm not sure about what that would be I know ACT not PSAT or SAT.
EDIT:I looked and its only in like 17 states of the US and for a few foreign students from the US it happens towards the beginning of the school year. I took my test in November registered in September or October

I did Duke TIP once! I got a free summer course for scoring 800 on the SAT Math :D
-
You lucky. I only got a free audit course. I would have liked to get the free summer course but I was a few points below that level. That is the top 40 only. I acually got the summer program I'm going to this year through Duke TIP. Its the Advance program and its expensive ~$2000

lol Ashbad. they also have a 4-5th program but I don't know about that since I never was in it.
-
I made State when I was in 7th grade. :)
-
I may have heard of it before, but I don't remember. Seventh grade was a while ago. :P
-
Given all I've heard about it, I regret never having participated in TIP. :/
Too late now, of course.
