| Summer Programs Ranking
I am pretty new to Summer Program Thread. Just found out about it few weeks ago after monthes of roaming around the SAT threads :P
I am confused and do not know which is more "presitigious" then the others so... rank them if you will.
YESS
SSP (Summer Science Program)
RSI
MITES
TASP
Clark Scholar
SSP (Secondary School Program)
PROMYS
Secondary Student Training Program (SSTP)
Student Science Training Program (SSTP)
The Ross Program
Stanford University Mathematics Camp (SUMaC)
AwesomeMath
Canada/USA Mathcamp
HCSSiM)
HSMC)
Garcia Summer Scholars
High School Summer Science Research Program (HSSSRP)
HSHSP
_______________
My ranking would be this, but remember I am sooo new about this:
1. RSI, MITES, TASP
2. SSP (Summer Science Program), YESS
3. PROMYS, USA Mathcamp
4. SSP (Secondary School Program, Clark Scholar,
Unknown:
Secondary Student Training Program (SSTP)
Student Science Training Program (SSTP)
The Ross Program
Stanford University Mathematics Camp (SUMaC)
AwesomeMath
HCSSiM)
HSMC)
Garcia Summer Scholars
High School Summer Science Research Program (HSSSRP)

Honestly do not worry about prestige that much but rather look at which program you will enjoy most. Other than RSI and possibly tasp none of them will make or break your app, but going to a program that meshes well with you can greatly change your outlook for the future. I know it sounds kind of ambiguous and far fetched but my summer experiences have had a profound effect on me because I found one that had what I wanted out of the summer. Enjoy your summer!

Based on my knowledge (to be taken with a grain of salt):
1. RSI, TASP, Ross
2. SSP (Summer Science), Clark Scholars, MITES
3. Garcia, HSHSP, YESS
4. PROMYS, Mathcamp, HSSSRP
Unknown, probably lower:
SSP (Secondary School Program)
Secondary Student Training Program (SSTP)
Student Science Training Program (SSTP)
Stanford University Mathematics Camp (SUMaC)
AwesomeMath
HCSSiM)
HSMC)
To me, any program that actually requires money is probably lower than those that are free, SSP being a notable exception.

I don't know why Canada/USA Mathcamp is always ranked lower than Ross and PROMYS. Judging from the achievements of its camper body, it is easily way above all other math summer program.
BTW, Clark Scholars had a 8% acceptance rate. Many programs on this list don't even come close to that.
Just my opinion though.

I concur with ras22. It's not necessarily the prestige of the program, but what you get out of it, that matters. Ranking them is meaningless, IMO.

^Well, obviously. This is just for fun. Hopefully, nobody will apply to the prestigious ones just because they're prestigious...*cough*.

| I would be interested to know where this stands as well, though I doubt I could go because they don't provide housing.
