I have a choice of two summer research programs this summer. My ultimate goal is to enter my project into Siemens competition. First program is free and run by undergrads, the second program is at well-known summer research program, so it is probably ran by PHDs and it has a fee of 3,000. Do I have a chance of entering my project and making semifinalist with the free program run by grads students?
How can anyone reasonable answer this question, since you have provide ZERO INFORMATION about you and your accomplishments, about your project, and/or about the Siemens’ acceptance criteria.
What year are you in high school?
What would the pay program provide that the free one doesn’t?
Which one would let you pursue more of your interest?
Which one is easier to get to?
