<p>I'm currently half way through my junior year and I'm trying to look for opportunities that apply to me, coming from a poor family, where my parents make below 25k annually.</p>
<p>all suggestions are appreciated</p>
<p>What are your test scores? </p>
<p>For you to get accepted to the schools that give the best aid, or for you to get merit scholarships, you need strong test scores.</p>
<p>really? i haven’t taken my SAT yet, but I’m looking to average 2000, 2100 max.</p>
<p>i have a lot of extracurriculars, over 2000 volunteering hours, and around 7 AP courses, some SAT 2s.</p>
<p>2000 volunteering hours? Wow. </p>
<p>I think most summer programs applications start around now. You should look to take the SATs very soon, as many ask for a score. </p>
<p>Keep searching this forum for a summer program.</p>
<p>thanks man. I will very soon</p>
<p>i am currently looking to apply for the summer school at harvard/ yale through the questbridge program, which will provide me with a full scholarship if I was to get accepted. does anyone here have the experience and can share with me their 2 cents?</p>
