Does anyone know USC SHINE program? How it benefits to college application comparing to COSMOS program?
I’m wondering as well. DD got into both this summer. Both look like amazing research opportunities.
Yes, the USC SHINE program is a summer research program for high school students who are interested in pursuing STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. The program is designed to provide students with hands-on research experience and exposure to college-level coursework. The benefits of participating in the USC SHINE program are similar to those of the COSMOS program. Both programs provide students with the opportunity to gain research experience, work with college-level faculty, and engage in college-level coursework. However, the USC SHINE program has a specific focus on medical research, which may be particularly beneficial for students interested in pursuing a career in medicine or health-related fields.
