Dilemma: Summer science program

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>Hey guys! I've taken advanced math classes all years of high school, but so far my grades have all been B's (usually borderline A/B agh, but that's not what this is about). I was lazy, and I really regret it. </p>

<p>I really want to do any sort of research/science program over summer, but with these grades I'm not sure who will take me. I'm aiming to earn an A this semester, but that freshman/sophomore streak...Any suggestions? This is a pretty strange case. :/</p>

<p>Side note: I have straight A's in science, excellent PSAT/SAT, no research experience, but I think I can write some pretty good essays? I've been looking forward to research since freshman year.</p>

<p>You probably could have applied for research earlier (you said you were looking forward to it since freshman year). I know there are programs for younger kids (I attended one), but maybe you had other things going on. Anyway, I don’t think that would single-handedly kill your application. I would recommend applying to all the programs you are interested in and hope for the best!</p>
