Summer Programs for Biology; Freshmen

Hi CC,
I am currently a ninth grader studying in India as a U.S. citizen. Because I wish to pursue biology and related sciences, I wish to attend a summer program in the US for the summer. I undesrtand that a variety of programs exist - many simply accepting applicants that can pay. Can anyone please reccomend some progams that are competitive and add value to a college resume. I have been searching and saw that many good research programs do not accept freshmen. Could anyone please list out a few good programs that accept freshmen. Thanks!

On a separate note, can anyone please give me feedback on the followoing two programs, their benefits, shortcomings, etc.

  • Rosetta Summer Research Bio Programs
  • Boston Leadership Institute three week course

I would really appreciate some good answers. Thanks again!
