<p>I haven’t attended other summer programs, but I think it’s safe to say that TASP really is on a different level. It is considered one of the two most prestigious summer programs (along with RSI at MIT) for High Schoolers, and almost every TASPers ends up at an Ivy Leage (from my year 5 to Harvard, 4 to Yale, a couple to Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth, 4 to Cornell, a couple to Columbia, Stanford- basically you name a great school and TASPers are there).<br>
Aside from it’s prestige, TASP is truly life-altering. It changed my life in many ways, and I think most people who attend it feel the same way. It’s different from other programs because not only is it free, but students get to work very intimately with some of the countr’s greatest scholars; not to mention that many TASPers become the country’s greatest scholars.<br>
I’m not going to tell much more about the program- you can look it up at tellurideassociation.org, but I highly highly recommend this program. Even the application process is good practice for college, and if you get in you will make friends for life and study in a graduate-level environment for six weeks. What more could you ask?</p>
