need suggestions on prestigious summer programs

<p>its kind of late to apply to some of the top programs in the country, but i'm still looking for remaining prestigious programs that are left
i live in ny if that helps</p>

<p>i'm looking for a program that is challenging and is a great experience for everyone
also, i'm not looking for a program that just requires one to pay to gain entrance</p>

<p>i'm looking for programs that are related to science (preferably chemistry, physics, astronomy)
some programs i found was mites and cooper union's summer program
any other suggestions? thank you!</p>

<p>Clark Scholars at Texas Tech - the deadline is coming up in early March, but you can probably still make it.</p>
