<p>I recently heard about the RISE program and was wondering about the quality of the program and my chances of getting in if I decided to apply. Has anyone participated in RISE before? How was the quality of the research and the general atmosphere/experience? Is everyone there super smart/Harvard-bound geniuses? Any information would be helpful and appreciated.</p>
