<p>As a sophomore who will not be 16 by the time summer starts, I have limited options (especially considering how expensive many of the ones I am eligible for are); therefore, I’m only applying to two programs. As a backup, I’ll probably just take classes at the local university or whatever.</p>
<p>There’s a third program I want to apply for, but it says that the program is “generally directed towards rising seniors, although this is not a hard-and-fast requirement.”</p>
<p>But the program’s application opens in April, after I’ll get acceptances (or denials) from some other programs.</p>
