Alaska Summer Research Academy

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>After being rejected by my beloved TASP, I found out that I got accepted into this program! :) Has anyone heard of it? The</a> Alaska Summer Research Academy | Home</p>

<p>It's a fairly new program (entering it's tenth year), but it seems like a great program with lots of potential (can receive college credit) and relatively inexpensive ($1200). Each module only accepts 10-15 people so I'm guessing it's pretty competitive as well.</p>

<p>Anyway, it'd be cool to meet up with some CC people there. If not this year, then next year!</p>

<p>Wow, this looks interesting! The deadline has passed, but I’ll definitely look into it for next year, thanks. It’s actually really inexpensive compared to some other programs, which is a definite bonus, haha. If you don’t mind me asking, which module did you apply for?</p>

<p>Hmm. The link you gave does not work for me :confused: I googled it and it does look cool. [The</a> Alaska Summer Research Academy | Home](<a href=“http://www.uaf.edu/asra/apply/]The”>http://www.uaf.edu/asra/apply/)</p>

<p>I’ll probably also look into this next year (parents have always wanted to go to Alaska) :]</p>

<p>Also, on their website it says it only accepts ~120 students for the 17 modules available, so that averages to about 7-8 people per module :O</p>

<p>^haha. Thanks for the new link.</p>

<p>Yea, that was one of the things that attracted me to it. It’s really cheap for an accredited course and the schedule looks like a perfect mix of lectures and hands on research. (I just might get over my TASP rejection with this :p)</p>

<p>No problem DiveAlive. I was going to apply to the Marine Biology module, but because of schedule conflicts I ended up applying to their new June module. It’s the Kasitsna Bay Advanced module (named after their marine lab) and combines engineering with marine science. </p>

<p>I originally had a tough time choosing, because most of them sound really awesome. I like the Sustainable Energy one (might do this next year) and the Biomedicine module (you get to work in the ER, radiology, pharmacy, and the Operating Room). However, the schedule conflict made my decision a lot easier and the only one I could attend was the Kasitsna Bay Advanced module :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I’ll post a review of my experience after summer (or maybe even during the program since we’re allowed laptops etc), but feel free to ask any questions. I’m really excited :)</p>
