Dmmetler Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 DD's registration for this summer's SSAR conference has been held up. Apparently the problem is that her educational affiliation is "Homeschooled, 6th grade" not a university. I'm not terribly worried since the executive board knows DD and knows she's planning to attend, but it's definitely a "problems that only come with accelerated kids!" 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runningmom80 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I've imagined conversations playing out in regards to bumping my ds up a few years in activities and classes. I'm sure a 10 year old apply to college/ graduate/ career level conferences raises some questions! :) What a cool life she leads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Her mentor thinks they have it taken care of. We'll see if I get a confirmation on her e-mail Monday. I am kind of hoping that this will catch it and make it easier for the other pre-bac students, although some of them could probably list whatever school they're doing DE at or will be attending full-time next year, since last year a lot of them introduced themselves with "I just graduated from X high school, and will be attending X university as a biology major in the fall..." And, FWIW, I've discovered that in many cases, it's easier to get DD into college/professional level stuff than to get her in to a co-op class for kids a year older than she is. I've pretty much stopped trying to explain for "kids' stuff". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 DD's registration has been approved, and the wording changed so that "student" includes pre-baccalaureate students who are members of a participating society. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Could have just given affiliation as "Mount Parnassus Academy for Reptilian Studies" :D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 I think I'd officially need a .edu e-mail address and a website. Apparently, that's the easiest way to determine "student" status-being listed as a research student on the university's herpetology department page.
