<p>That looks like an amazing program, actually. Definitely better than an expensive summer course. It’s been going for 25 years, and they keep it small and limited to Boston students (which is why it’s probably not as well-known as some of the other research programs that attract students from around the country, but that doesn’t make it any less “prestigious”). I like the emphasis on mentoring, and it’s the perfect experience to have on your resume if you’re trying to arrange an internship after junior year – you might even be able to set something up with one of the HSPH researchers to continue through the school year or next summer.</p>
