^I've heard Shumway isn't that prestigious. It's supposed to be good learning-wise, but it doesn't look that great on college apps as it's just another program you pay for.

Are there any summer camps for freshmen (9th, rising 10th) that anyone would recommend for me?

Thanks

goodjams, there are a few, my D is doing Summer@Brown right now, that's one. Columbia offers one also. CTY has several. All cost quite a bit but I know Brown and CTY offer need-based scholarships.

Once you're a rising junior there are a lot more options.

I understand the intent of the thread, but you really shouldn't be doing summer programs just to put them on applications.

I did go to the Stanford EPGY course this year, and it was alright. Not amazing, but just okay. I'm not sure if EPGY courses are considered good enough to put on college applications though.

I would suggest emailing the professors of nearby universities. Of course, avoid higher-level colleges (Columbia, Cornell, etc.) because they'll be less likely to respond (but feel free to try).

To get my chemistry mentorship, I emailed a professor of a nearby college, and he's been willingly mentored me for over a year.

Try the International Leadership Program run by Krinsky Programs at Penn, it's about 50% International and a great program

Does a part-time summer job at a prestigious bank look good on an application?
