Revision
[edit]I disagree that this article was a pure vanity page, as the program is noteworthy. However, a lot of the language was NPOV, there were many unsourced claims (some irrelevant to the article), and the whole thing seemed rather badly organized. I've attempted to clean things up, but more work still needs to be done by people who know more about this program. CKarnstein 18:48, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Giftedness
[edit]I don't think this article should be in the category Giftedness. It states that the SAT is used to select students for the program. The SAT stopped being an aptitude test in 1994. It is now an achievement test, and as such does not test for innate giftedness.Tstrobaugh (talk) 13:55, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Maybe vanity, but accurate
[edit]I'm surprised to see PEG has an entry at all, and can't think why it shouldn't. I graduated from the program and find the information perfectly accurate. The program's chief importance is that it's located at a women's college, so it specially serves gifted young women. While the SAT certainly isn't a definitive indicator of anything, I guess PEG has to use some tool to reach out to possible students. Having known many PEG students, however, I can guarantee that the entry has every relevance to giftedness, not just achievement. 71.168.34.181 (talk) 02:17, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Blatant Spam
[edit]This has no references, includes a link to the application form for the program, and reads like copy/paste from some recruitment brochure. I've tagged it as an advert, and if no one is able to rewrite it from a NPOV with some references, I think it should be tagged for speedy deletion. If this program is indeed notable, one would think that some references to it in the literature could be found (and they may be findable, but I'm not the one to look for them).
