Stanford's EPGY summer Institute Prestigious or not?

<p>^ it depends. It seems that you are more interested in physics than business so I would suggest five options:

  1. Take the EPGY course anyway. The program isnt that bad and the program is reasonably fun. </p>

<ol>
<li><p>Contact professors at your local college and try to do physics research with them this summer.</p></li>
<li><p>Get a job.</p></li>
<li><p>Get involved with community service related to physics somehow.</p></li>
<li><p>Take summer classes at your local community college or 4 year college.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Note that the last four options arent mutually exclusive. Hope this helps.</p>
