So I have been looking all over for summer programs, especially ones relating to science (biology/chemistry). I’m especially interested in molecular biology and biomedical fields. (I’m hopeless at physics.)

Except I’ve been hitting two barriers.
One, I’m not American. I’m also not a permanent resident.
Two, my school starts super early, and the program has to finish by August 3rd…

Does anyone know of good programs that I can apply to?

(As reference, I’m a pretty good student, 4.0 gpa, yadayada, but I haven’t had ANY experience with like science fairs or research or anything, mainly because I’ve been moving around a lot)

PS: has anyone heard of the smith summer science and engineering programs?
PPS: I’ve looked at Cornell summer college’s program about research apprenticeship (forgot the name now), but it was way too expensive:(
