High School Honors Science Program at Michigan State ( HSHSP )

To those who attended HSHSP in the past: What were your research topics or general areas?
Has any of you researched in animal sciences, ecology, or bioinformatics related fields?

Does anyone have an opinion on which program is better: HSHSP or Governor’s School in Science (NJ)? I’m asking in terms of the quality of the research experience and time spent in the lab doing hands-on work.

Hey I just got accepted as an alternate, does anybody know if there is any chance of getting in now?

@TheStudyer
Yeah, I got into this and SSP and HSHSP but won’t turn down HSHSP until I receive financial aid info for SSP, but chances are I’ll do SSP. I’m sure there’s also others waiting on other programs before they decline HSHSP, so spots will probably open up for alternates.

I’m thinking of applying this year, anyone know the acceptance rate last year? I’m also not good at writing essays, does anyone have tips/samples for me to look at? Thanks!
