| Any summer programs that I can still apply to? it's kind of late I know..
I was rejected from RSI, got into Stanford EPGY (but omg so much $$$), and am applying to UChicago's YSP (I went the last two years).
But yeah, I think my mom's gonna make me go to epgy, but it's so expensive, gah. |

Anyone ever do the Biotechnology or Nanotechnology courses @ U of P pre-college summer engineering program? Which of the 2 courses has more "normal" (< nerds ) attending...applied and wanna know the "411" ab. the students who attend. Did anyone else apply to this summer prgrm. for 2008, or has ever done in the past? How are the social activities, food, campus security, etc. in the summer. Would like 2 hear from all of u who have applied or done in the past. Thx. :<). | |

| Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Mass, has a fine summer program that includes computer science and liberal arts options. My offspring did this program, and is now a computer science major in the engineering school at UC Berkeley. Believe this program strengthened his app. | |

| "The program is for minorities but it doesn't hurt to apply"--according to a student who posted re the minority program MITES at MIT. Students who are not minorities or women should not bother applying to programs, such as MITES (and NASA SHARP used to be in this category) that are targeted for minorities and/or women. They (the non-minorities and males, in the case of programs targeted for women) will not get in and they will waste their time. If they (the non-minorities) ask the people who run these programs whether they should apply anyway, and whether they accept non-minorities, the people who run the programs will encourage the non-minorities to apply anyway, because they cannot say "we do not accept Caucasians," and while they might occasionally accept a Caucasian, the programs are targeted to minorities and women. I speak from experience. If you are Caucasian, do not waste your time applying to programs that are targeted to minorities, if you are male, do not apply to programs that are targeted to females. A couple of years ago one of the JHU Imagine magazines had a complete issue with a list of summer programs in engineering, and I counted, two-thirds of them were targeted to minorities and women. It doesn't matter what one thinks about the philosophy behind these programs, it matters that you don't waste your time trying to enter doors that are closed to you. Face this reality and move on. | |

| Stanford Institutes of Medical Research (SIMR) is expanded to 35 spots this year and will increase to 50 next year.
This is arguably the best, and most competitive, summer research program in the world. So the comptetition is tough. They recieved more than 400 applications this year. CCIS: Center for Clinical Immunology - Stanford University School of Medicine | |
