<p>@UMTYMP student:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>You probably shouldn’t even be looking at summer programs if you feel that the only reason to attend a summer program is for “some (small) boost in college admissions.”</p></li>
<li><p>I don’t think you read Urantiel’s posts in their entirety. Did he not concede that TASP would be much more valuable than RSI for a humanities student? You can extend that statement to mean that TASP < some math program for a math student. It’s clear to me that Urantiel means that the differences on the prestige/value scale only come into the picture when comparing summer programs in the same general field, like MOSP or RSI vs Ross or SUMaC, or RSI vs Garcia…</p></li>
</ol>
<p>So in conclusion stop arguing with Urantiel. He/she is right and you really haven’t refuted Urantiel’s statements</p>
