Simons vs SSP vs others

Hi, my son applied to the following summer programs

Simons - got first choice field
BU Rise - got preference
RSI - did not make it
SSP - applied for biochem

Is there a generally accepted rank for these for eventually applying to colleges? I do realize RSI would top the list. What about the rest?

If MIT is his dream school, SSP is best for him.

Simons is pretty impressive. I’d put it at the same approximate level as SSP in terms of prestige.

Congrats to your son, and good luck with SSP.

These programs will all likely be canceled this summer. RSi already confirmed it is cancelled. So it probably won’t matter, but he can list on his CV that he was accepted.
