here is some ifno about the best nasa sharp program
CSULA residential where athlonmj and i spent last summer
NASA SHARP residential program- where you live 8 weeks at a college and then go to work at the college or comute to major buisnesses like Boeing
Well the chance of getting accpeted was around 12%
140 PEOPLE ACCEPTED OUT OF 1100 APPLICANTS
ALSO for this program f you are a white, asain, indian male your cahnces decease to probably 6% since they like to accept URM's and females. Mnay of the groups of kids have around 12 girls and 8 boys.
CSULA is the best residential program by far,
If you are there you get to work for Northrop or Boeing
It has the best location, LA.
in 8 weeks on fridays and the weekends we covered all the museums, theaters, and hot spots in all of Southern CA. We traveled as far south as San Diego. North as Six Flags, And East as Edwards air force base, like 1.5 hrs away from Las Vegas.
I was the only one at CSULA from California, so if you live in CALi the chances are even more slim to get the best spot. The main director, a CSULA EE professor will keep you on your toes all the time and will always have you bussy, or she will get on you case. During the summer she made many girls cry and almost one guy. She demands that the CSULA NASA SHARP program is the best.
if you go here

you can see all of us.
I worked for Boeing Satallite Systems and my project was Thermal and Dynamic Validation of a New Thermally Conductive Gasket Process for Space Use.
The days are packed
normal Mon thru thursday was
wake up 6:15
out of the apartment at 6;45 and commute to BSS
get to BSS at 730-745
leave work at 400
get back to the apartment at 445-500
sleep for 45 min( yes i did sleep, powernaps are what kept me going)
5;45 go to a 2-2.5 hr class at night to learn stupid stuff we already know such as mircosoft office, websites, excel,etc.( this was a time to play online games and aim)
get to the apartment about 8-830 and cook dinner, shower watch tv, hang out and do work. Yes work, we had to do projects for NASA SHARP and online debates, plus work on our reports, and presentations.
When you have 20 teens living by themselves basically its going to be chaoss and your goin tohave a fun time.
We did got to JPL, this is the place that they tape almost everything on the NASA CHANnel on tv, also you may know of it from all of the research it has done. We didnt work here but we went there a few times. The kids that worked there were commuters, so they lived within 50miles ofthe place, went to work on the weekdayas and then went back home every day and on the weekends. Commuter is no where as good as any residential place.
All of us that were at NASA SHARP CSULA are basically guaranteed an internship at either Boeing or Northrop during a summer at college. Its great because the internships are normally left for top students college seniors or graduate students.
One kid had a nice set up $20 an hour 40hrs a week, free hotle room to stay at plus free rental car for the summer. He was a previous Sharpie.
RSI is still a more prestigous program and more competitive than NASA SHARP
I'd say apply to both and see what you get, and either of the programs beats out any other high school program by a ton, they are also 10 times better than taking a college class at some top college.
Im sure i forgot some things , so hopefully anthonmj or any other SHARPIE will read thisand add some more too it
