Hi guys,
I was wondering if you could provide input on whether BU Rise or Garcia is better? In terms of research quality, fun, prestige, etc.?
I don’t know but I saw this list under a thread entitled “Updated Listing of Best Summer Programs” (or something like that. I have no idea whether the person who made the list is correct but it is true that RSI is generally very highly regarded, as is SSP so I think it probably is not that far off. That’s in terms of prestige and research qualit :
- RSI/SSP
- Simons (I'm biased)
- Clarks Scholars/NIH
- SIMR/ Jackson Labs
- HSHSP
- Garcia
- SSTP
- Rockefeller
For fun, BU Rise is in Boston and I think Garcia is at Stony Brook so it’s the difference being in a great city and being on a suburban campus. You can probably get more information by perusing the threads in the Summer Programs board.
Garcia > HSHSP > BU Rise
Actually, Garcia and HSHSP Is a bit difficult to compare. However, if you are into chemistry, I highly suggest Garcia. If not, Hshsp may be a better option.
How is the research quality at rise?
Is it much worse or comparable to garcia/hshsp?
