Help with Summer Programs?

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs

<p>I know it's a bit late in the game but these past couple of weeks, I got my SAT score (2380) and my AMC 12 score (108, distinguished honor roll (top 1%)) which could significantly improve my chances at summer programs. I didn't bother applying to any big programs like RSI, Clarks, etc. because I didn't think I would stand a chance.</p>

<p>Thus far, I've applied for Rockefeller (The</a> Rockefeller University: High School Application) and Garcia (SUNY</a> Stony Brook: Materials Science and Engineering) and updated all my applications with this news.</p>

<p>Are there any prestigious summer programs that are still open for application and are better than the ones that I applied for?</p>

<p>For my full stats, see here: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1462697-chance-mit-caltech-stanford-ivies.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1462697-chance-mit-caltech-stanford-ivies.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>You may also want to start just reaching out to local institutions and asking to do research with them. You may even be able to start now and continue into your senior year.</p>
