In fact, a bunch of my classmates did CTY. We didn't think there was anything dorky about it, and though we joked about how it was a ticket to a good college, it ended up not even being mentioned on (at least my) app. We beat the shit out of the grade 7 standardised exams and then took the SAT with no algebra background as 12 year olds.
