I've missed all the deadlines

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>I've been rejected from a summer program and after I received the letter of rejection, I tried to scramble to find something else to do over summer. Unfortunately there's not many good summer programs that will accept apps anymore. So... I don't think I'll be doing much the summer of 07... </p>

<p>What would you say is a good way to spend all this time? I wanna do something worthwhile. Does volunteering look just as good on college apps than, say, Harvard ssp?</p>

<p>Oh yeah if you know of any programs that still accept apps feel free to pm me hint hint</p>

<p>Volunteering is good on any application. I guess its not as good as Harvard ssp, but it is still good. Most colleges look for community service anyway.</p>

<p>u chicago's summer app isn't due til like, mid may, northwestern just extended their deadline, and stanford still has 5 days...those are if you don't mind pay-for-play.</p>

<p>Try finding opportunities for independent research or internships.</p>

<p>EPGY is available too</p>

<p>If you want to take summer classes and do volunteer work, the following program is still accepting applications: <a href="http://www.changetheworlduf.org/youngentrepreneurs/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.changetheworlduf.org/youngentrepreneurs/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p>

<p>Call up some local law firm/hospital/college/etc and see if they take interns...that can be a really fun way to spend a summer!!</p>

<p>A few summers ago I volunteered at my local nature center, and it was amazing. I don't know how it would look on an application, but I did get community service hours for doing it. It was a blast too. (Except for cleaning out the cages in the infirmary.)</p>

<p>I think JSA is still open...BU I think might be...but I think JSA still has spots. Call the organization and see which campuses are open. Go to <a href="http://www.jsa.org%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.jsa.org&lt;/a> I think. Or search on google for the site and find the 1800 number to call.</p>
