<p>I just got rejected from Caltech YESS. I got rejected a few days ago from a local two-week science program in an infectious disease lab. and I got rejected from an internship at Microsoft but i kinda saw that coming cuz i have no experience with computers whatsoever.</p>
<p>so 0 out of 3.....</p>
<p>somehow i think it's my essay responses that suck b/c my grades and test scores and teacher recs are generally pretty great and i've got extracurriculars that fit the programs i try to apply for (science and math).</p>
<p>so uhhh what other (free) programs are still open? and for the ones that require like $3000 at least, are they helpful or a waste of money?</p>
<p>and if there aren't any others, what other options do I have?</p>
<p>How about the Equinox programs at CWRU or Northwestern? (Center for Talent Development)</p>

<p>Not cheap, but $2800 residential fees include tuition, room and board for three weeks, books, and materials, health center fee, and deposit.</p>
<p>AP Statistics sounds good if you haven't taken it. Or, not many high schools offer linear algebra.</p>
<p>June 29 - July 18 I think?</p>
<p>Equinox</a>, Courses, Summer Program, Center for Talent Development, Northwestern University</p>
<p>what about Harvard SSP and Brown unversity and Stanford summer program? i think they might be still open.
yeah, gamapasa, i got rejected by caltech too......what about contacting ur local colleges to mentor under a prof?</p>
<p>yeah, i got rejected by yess, too.</p>
<p>i second wildchartermage's suggestion. people always need more hands (especially free/cheap hands) around the lab. good experiences, too.</p>
