Summer Programs for Freshman

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>Can anyone recommend a couple of summer programs for 9th graders.
I'm fourteen and in my freshman year of high school. I'm looking for a good summer program this year, but most of them (RSI, SSP, TASP, MITES) all seem to be sophmore year and beyond.</p>

<p>I live in NJ, so places like Princeton, MIT... would be best. Less well known colleges are also acceptable. </p>

<p>Preferably, these summer programs should be less than ~100 dollars to apply and as tuition.
Also, they should look good on college applications, and be geared towards science and mathematics.</p>

<p>Also, is it okay to apply for independent research as a freshman? How would I do something like that? Could I go to a college and help a professor on his/her research?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>try math camp…HCSSIM, PROMYS, ROSS etc.</p>

<p>there’s also a math camp at Rutgers if you want to stay in NJ</p>

<p>As a freshman independent research might be a stretch unless you personally know a professor or something and they get you connected.</p>
