<p>Hello everybody, I’m a 15 year old Sophomore, and I was hoping that there are either some business or technology focused summer programs that are fairly selective. Of course, I hit the jackpot and was born into a wealthier family who has tried to pay my way through everything, but I want to get into a program based on my own merit. Specifically, finance is my passion. My dream is to become a hedge fund manager, and I’ve just loved everything “business” since I was little. Engineering definitely comes in at a close second, mostly because I was a curious child and always want to know the “how” behind all my devices. Computer Science is another passion of mine for the same reason as the last. So, are there any very selective programs for any of these topics that I could apply to and have a stellar experience in the process? I honestly just want to go to my local community college this summer and take a bunch of classes, but my parents insist on a program. Thank you in advance for all your help.</p>

Have a look at the Stanford Pre-Collegiate Summer Institute programs. http://summerinstitutes.stanford.edu/high-school
