The Julian C. Stanley Study of Exceptional Talent (SET) was created to help
extremely talented students achieve their full potential, and, through its
research and advocacy initiatives, to enhance the educational opportunities
available for all academically advanced students.
Since 1980, SET has assisted students throughout the world who exhibit extraordinary mathematical or verbal reasoning ability by scoring at least 700 on either the Mathematical or Verbal (Critical Reading) part of the SAT before the age of 13 (or score an additional ten points for each additional month of age).

What is SET?
The Julian C. Stanley Study of Exceptional Talent (SET) provides direct services free-of-charge to students
who meet eligibility
requirements. SET evolved from a concern that students whose reasoning abilities
are exceptionally advanced for their age may need an educationally advanced
program to be optimally challenged (more in History of SET). In
addition, they may lack a peer group who share their interests and abilities.
While all of CTY’s programs have been developed with these concerns in mind,
students who score at the highest levels on tests of ability or achievement may
be most at risk for failing to achieve their full potential if these issues are
not addressed. Thus, SET focuses on working with students who achieve
exceptional scores on the SAT in CTY’s Talent Search or through another
venue.
SET's approach is very individualized. Our counseling focuses on helping students make good educational choices, given their individual strengths and weaknesses, interests and motivation, and available resources in the school and community. We highly value summer programs, academic competitions, and a variety of extracurricular activities as effective means to enhance challenge and learning, and, most especially, to connect with like-minded peers during the high school years. We work closely with some families, while others have less need to request assistance because their current needs are being met. In addition to offering individual guidance, SET serves the larger group by providing information about opportunities and resources in Imagine magazine, the SET Newsletter, and the Cogito website, and by hosting group meetings.
SET’s work is research-based. SET members are followed over time, providing feedback on what has supported their development. Some studies also include input from parents. Participation is voluntary, but these efforts help us better understand the needs of highly gifted students, identify effective strategies for serving them, and advocate for services.
The lessons learned from working with SET students can clearly apply to a larger population. Imagine magazine, which is available by subscription, and the Cogito website, are initiatives that resulted from SET’s interest in serving more students. We also focus on the dissemination of SET’s core principles and practices and research findings through publications and presentations at conferences in an effort to influence educational policy and practice (see Research & Advocacy).
