Consolidated List for SOPHOMORES -- Math, Science and DEBATE Camps :D

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>Those with a * are the ones I've heard a "relatively prestigious" </p>

<p>But my sense of ... prestigiousness sucks, so please tell me which other * to add!!</p>

<p>-- SOPHOMORE-ELIGIBLE CAMPS (though not restricted to sophomores) LISTED ONLY -- </p>

<p>PLEASE ADD TO THE LIST, ESP WITH IDENTIFYING THOSE THAT ARE PRESTIGIOUS/REMOVING THOSE THAT ARE SCAMS THANKS</p>

<p>And yes, I know debate is random. But surely there are enthusiastic debaters out there? </p>

<p>Another note with debate: I've only listed the camps that offer public forum, but for those w/ "debate camp experience" -- would going to policy debate camps, LD, etc, be just as beneficial if you know you'll primarily be competing in public forum?</p>

<p>I know I've added program dates for some, and not the others. I was originally interested in math camp for the summer, but not anymore, so didn't really "expand" my list there. </p>

<p>ENJOY. (Unless this list sucks?)</p>

2

<p>Pleeeease add onto the list! And definitely get rid of those where sophomores are NOT eligible.</p>

3

<p>by sophomore do u mean incoming sophomore or outgoing sophomore</p>

4

<p>SOPHOMORES RIGHT NOW -- or rising juniors. </p>

<p>How can I edit? :(</p>

5

<p>the edit option only works for 15 min or smthng</p>

6

<p>yea that sucks ... </p>

<p>oh well, RISING JUNIORS everyone,... CURRENT SOPHOMORES.</p>

7

<p>Please include COSMOS if you are a Californian resident - great math/science camp. A ton of my friends last year that were sophomores went there.</p>

8

<p>SIMR is officially a JUNIOR-SENIOR program (rawr, juniors...)</p>

<p>Which does bring up the fact that there are SO MANY opportunities open for juniors. And just one summer to do it in. Bleh.</p>

9

<p>Drexel University College of Medicine and NYU RSI summer program </p>

<p>OFFICIALLY not updated and assumed to be not offering summer programs for the year of 2009. </p>

<p>Bleh, I wish I can edit the list. </p>

<p>And it seems like Northwestern for debate is probably only to going to benefit policy debaters out there?</p>

10

<p>Um, there's a 2.5 month program at Stanford and there's a 1-2 week summer math/science camp called GEMS @ WPI. ( it's near Boston,MA.). I have a really long list of programs, but yeah, not too many out there for us sophs, I'll make sure to add on to the list.</p>

11

<p>SERIOUSLY, I wish I had known about SIMR earlier.. :( the app's due in 3 days.</p>

12

<p>EDIT:SIMR is not for sophomores.</p>

<p>sorry for posting so much :)</p>

13

<p>I guess for us sophomores it's just...research internships xD. But even then the chances of us being accepted are sliiiiim. </p>

<p>Best focus on SAT then? </p>

<p>Or something like taking honors courses through the summer? But I don't want to take courses... ><</p>

14

<p>Yeah, I think I'll just end up applying to brown, then maybe getting a research internship the summer before senior year. Plus, I wouldn't want to apply for a research internship in fears of getting rejected.lol. I think I'd rather do SAT prep...I forgot, the Stanford summer hs college seems like a really good program, but I have to take my SATs and mostly jrs and srs are applying, so they're given top priority over the upperclassmen. Plus, their application feels a lot like a college app :/</p>

15

<p>Interesting...but shouldn't juniors (at least seniors) have already taken their SATs? xD</p>

16

<p>SSP accepts sophomores :)
I have a list from when I was a rising junior. I'll post it if I can find it.</p>

17

<p>^ Cool </p>

<p>Which SSP? =P</p>

18

<p>Both Summer Science Program and Harvard's Secondary School Program ;) but I meant the first one. Though it doesn't take many sophomores, it can't hurt to apply.</p>
