Biotechnology Summer Programs?

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs

<p>Hi, I'm currently in the 11th grade and will be a senior next year. I was wondering how one is supposed to 'judge' the rigor/prestige of a summer program? Can anyone suggest any notable biotech/biomed summer programs that they know? Thank you so much. :D</p>

<p>oh and preferably one that has not passed the deadline yet lol
Until now, I was planning on doing neurosci research with a mentor at a nearby university, but was wondering if it would be better to do a summer program instead....
I'm planning on applying to Stanford, UC Berkeley, Harvard, and UT Austin next year, so I'm pretty sure this decision will have a big impact in the near future.</p>

<p>or anything engineering in general would be good.......</p>

<p>Cornell Nanobiotechnology:</p>

<p>NBTC:</a> Research Areas</p>

<p>CORNELL UNIVERSITY FOR SURE!</p>

<p>They select I believe 25/600</p>

<p>Last year was 10 out of almost 600 (less than 5%). It seems that you need to have some previous research experience or an interesting biotech science project that you can write about in your essay or basically you have no chance to get in. It's certainly does not seem to be for a normal good advanced high school student.</p>

<p>^^^yes, I too heard that they accepted 10.</p>
