<p>Yes, that’s about right.</p>
<p>Science Research</p>
<p>Jackson Labs Summer Student Program
[Summer</a> Student Program - The Jackson Laboratory](<a href=“http://education.jax.org/summerstudent/index.html]Summer”>http://education.jax.org/summerstudent/index.html)</p>
<p>I don’t think this program is very well known, but it offers a $3,600 (!!!) stipend, and is VERY competitive, open to both juniors and seniors in high school and undergraduates. Admission stats from last year: 413 Applicants, 29 Acceptances, 7%. 12 High School Students accepted. Nine weeks. Seems pretty incredible. I’m applying :).</p>
<p>Admission stats from Clark last year:</p>
<p>144 applicants, 12 acceptance, 8.3% acceptance rate.</p>
<p>The program also offers a $750 stipend on top of free accommodation (even access to a pool). For the juniors and seniors out there, Clark is the lurking gem among the highly selective research programs.</p>
<p>Same for the Cornell Nanobiotechnology Center (NBTC) High School Internship Program. Over 100 applicants, less than 10 acceptances.</p>
<p>Does anyone else know of any good research internship programs? Thanks.</p>
<p>Blsf, is this list roughly organized in order of prestige/difficulty?</p>

<p>Thanks for starting this thread! I work for a nonprofit and help underserved minority students attain information and resources about enrichment and going to college. I am in the process of looking for stimulating summer opportunities for them-- at this point, even arranging for them to babysit a neighbor’s child or shadow somebody on the job would be useful for them.</p>
<p>The programs listed so far are VERY competitive, but I found an inexpensive summer program for younger students hosted by IMSA (Illinois Math and Science Academy):

<p>There are other interesting day programs:
[MIT</a> ESP - Junction](<a href=“http://esp.mit.edu/learn/Junction/index.html]MIT”>MIT ESP - Junction)
It’s $600 and there is financial aid available. It’s a day program.</p>
<p>I would also mention that for students for whom finances are not a concern, there are lots of wonderful and interesting pre-college options out there, including programs at Harvard, WashU, and the University of Chicago, Brown, and so on. I also know about Exploration (explo.org) and recommend it highly to students of all ages (they have different programs).</p>
<p>I did the Young Writers’ Studio at the University of Iowa back in the day and loved, loved, loved, loved, loved it. Such good memories!</p>
<p>Are the programs in the revised list ALL prestigious or only some of them?
How about the RISE program? Does that have some prestige? (especially for college apps?)</p>

<p>Bump for what? What was your question, Htwnscholar?</p>

<p>PRESTIGE DOESN’T MATTER. Please read [my</a> post here](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/1281438-summer-programs-sophomore-interested-science-engineering.html?p=13805646]my”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/1281438-summer-programs-sophomore-interested-science-engineering.html?p=13805646) for why.</p>
<p>do you guys know of any good camps for interests in psychology? </p>
<p>I only know of some music camps since I play cello…</p>
