<p>“Want to be an Intel Finalist? You need the right mentor.”</p>
<p>Focus on Ward Melville, a regular public school in East Setauket, NY.</p>
<p>“The school subscribes to an online service giving students unlimited access to the latest research papers.” “We don’t worry about raffling off a case of soda to buy materials.” Dr. Baldo “has a large enough staff to make sure all 38 pages of the International science and engineering fair application get filled out correctly by the 25 students going.”</p>
<p>But the biggest advantage ? Proximity to Stony Brook.</p>
