| MOSP is probably the best for math students.
MathCamps is an option if you can't get in in MoSP | |

| Are you kidding me? MOSP is INCREDIBLY hard to get into (esp if you are a junior or senior). Not only would you have to qualify for the USAMO; you have to do very well on the USAMO (top 60 or so) to even qualify. Granted, the chances for freshmen and sophomores is higher for qualification into MOSP, but it's still hard nevertheless. Getting in basically says you're the top 60 of all math students in the nation. That's some prestige right there.
In fact, MOSP > RSI and TASP because it's so hard. | |

| Meh. Depends. I've heard of people who turned down MOSP to go to RSI. That doesn't mean anything though, since RSI is a one-time thing. And they might not have been, well, too mathy. | |

| In addition to listing these programs, can people also add some background to them or put a link to web pages with information on them as well? It'd be a lot more helpful this way. | |

| For journalists, there's a week-long camp which is quite prestigious in the journalism realm called "J-Camp," which accepts 40 students max from 450-500ish applicants each year.
Everything is free, including coverage for airfare. This years' is held at NYU I think. | |
