Clarks has less number of seats (less than 15) compared to HSHSP (24). While that makes it look like more competetive, the fact is that in this country- thankfully- there are more than 15 qualified students who could fit in Clarks program. Simons awards scholarship but has more regional appeal even though nationally people apply .HSHSP is the oldest running program.

What I was saying is leaving RSI which is the clear leader, HSHSP, Simons, IOWA SSTP,SIMR are all very good programs. Ranking them may not even make sense - for example, SIMR is only medical science focused whereas others may have wider desciplines to choose from.

My son was debating among Iowa, simons and HSHSP and decided on one. That does not make one program better than the others.
