<p>I've decided that will do a program this year, it'll be my first. I'm currently a sophomore. I've looked at SIG, and Exploration and they seem very nice (but I doubt I could get into SIG). </p>
<p>I'd appreciate it if you guys could tell me about similar programs. Price isnt a big problem, as long as it's <$6000, financial aid would be nice.</p>
<p>Bummer you missed TASS.</p>
<p>i would try maybe a job or internship. For us sophomores there aren't many program unfortunately. Do something local this year to build on your resume and then apply next year to something.</p>
<p>There are some great college programs too. For many of these all you have to do is meet the requirements and have the money.
Depending on your interest (presumably science) I would lean to a school with a larger science background (obviously)</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>Thanks. Yea, I'll do something next year too (give a shot at TASP).</p>
<p>Anyone do the Summer Program at Boston University? I just got a package from them.</p>
<p>The summer after soph year I got in contact with our local university and set up an internship in a research lab. It was free, interesting, and "built up" my resume.
If you're into politics/history/intl relations (my "thing") try JSA or the Congressional Page program.</p>
<p>Congressional Page? And get groped? =O</p>
<p>lol that doesn't happen to the vast majority of pages</p>
