<p>^Not… Carleton College has a summer science program that is not as difficult to get into. I will warn you that they are VERY slow at telling you which program (even which session, let alone which science area) they have accepted you into. That is quite frustrating. But it is supposed to be a good program.</p>
<p>Rose Hulman’s Operation Catapult has a high acceptance rate. And is not as expensive as a lot of other programs. You could also look into helping in a research lab if you live near a university campus.</p>
