<p>I'm not a genius, I'm a B level student in Honors Maths and Sciences. I'm also a junior, and i've taken pre calc and taking calc (I'd be surprised if I didn't get an A in Calc, but I got a C in pre calc, which is apparently what most people get, at least those who passed.) Alot of these summer programs have a limited amount of space with high requirements that I know just lesson my likelihood of admittance. And then the other summer programs want like 2000$. I can't afford that. So i'm taking my sat's in May (I honestly don't know if they take this into account) but at my progress, say I get between 1850-1950. What are some programs I can consider? And i'm willing to pay, just not more than 500$, hopefully.I'm not worried about the subject they revolve around, right now i'm just trying to get in one. Thanks, I'd really really appreciate some help. </p>
<p>UCONN has an Exploring Engineering program. It is for 4-5 nights and costs just about $500. My son went there a couple of summers ago. At that point he had a 1780 SAT score (eventually went up 200 points) and a B average. He is now a Mech Eng freshman at UCONN. <a href=“http://www.engr.uconn.edu/engineering2000.php”>http://www.engr.uconn.edu/engineering2000.php</a></p>
<p>I know that UMASS now offers similar program (they didn’t when my son was looking.) I believe it is longer than the UCONN program and costs more but I’m not sure of the price.</p>
<p>Thank you! The engineering one sounds okay, but engineering isn’t what i’m interested in,and the research requires a minimum age of 18. Thank you though! Any more suggestions from everybody else would be great, though.</p>
