Custardapple101, it depends on what you want to do during the summer program. There are plenty of prestigious ones, just flip through the first 3-4 pages of this thread.

Just spent the past hour going through the entire thread. I'm looking for a summer camp or internship in medicine around my area (SoCal) or anything that includes room & board.

What I got from many of these posts is that summer programs that are a) free or low-cost and b) competitive are the best for college apps, but I just want to do something legitimate this summer before senior year.

The following seem to fit my criteria, but if you know any others, please let me know.
Summer Programs:
SSP
YESS
RSI
EPGY

Internships:
SIMR
BHSI

^ I have the same criteria as you except I'm interested in the tri-state area. Does anyone know of any good ones?

Lead

It's been a while that I've been on this side of CC, but I just wanted to say that LEAD applications are out! Whether you want to do LEAD Business (current 11th graders), LEAD Engineering (current 10th or 11th graders), or LEAD Global (current 9th & 10th graders only), go to LEAD Program and go to the designated program you want to apply to!

Any questions you should go to the LEAD threads (Lead sbi 2010 or LEAD Summer Business Institute) or ask anyone you know of whose done the program you want to do before (I did LEAD Summer Business Institute at Kellogg this past summer)

Good luck on your endeavors!

Summer 2011. . . where should I go?

Hello,

What are some good programs for sophomores?

I plan on applying for TASP next year. It sounds great!

Though, I need something for this summer.
Are there any humanities or social sciences programs for sophomores?
Social science research programs?

Anyone know any good/prestigious summer schools for a upcoming junior next year?
most likely something related to poliscience, law, government that type of stuff or any internships or that type of thing to understand how these things work at a bigger organization?
(I'm a sophomore currently, so I guess keep that in mind)

Also, how are summer programs at ivy league schools or well known colleges such as Yale, Harvard? Anyone have positive experiences or any input on that?


thanks everyone!

^ I am in the same position.

I got a question: When they say recent awards and honors? Do they mean recent as in 2 or 3 years or what?

Yuu guys think its time to think about summer 2011. I considered the COSMOS program last summer but got rejected. I am considering to apply this year again any tips. Actually I would also like some other alternatives to Cosmos in southern Cali. Also I have another problem that needs advice. My school district changed to year round and well shoulkd I risk missing school for a life changing experience. Feedback is greatly appreciated.
