summer programs for sophomores?

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>I'm a sophomore and was wondering what are some summer programs available for me as the ones I read here are mainly for juniors. I was all excited about LEAD and a few others until I found out I'm not even allowed to apply. I started considering summer college credits from stanford, harvard, cmu... but then some of you guys say its useless. so the same question, what are my options for a quality summer cos i don't wanna just waste another one. </p>

<p>p.s. money is not a problem when considering summer programs.</p>

<p>They're not useless. It's just that they're not very selective compared to like TASP and RSI and stuff. But if you like them and can pay for them, I don't see why you shouldn't go.</p>

<p>And SSP, HSHSP, TASS, PROMYS, ROSS, and MATHCAMP all accept sophomores, so you might want to check those ones out too.</p>

<p>Telluride Association <em>Sophomore</em> Seminar is pretty freaking sweet, if humanities/social sciences with an African-American studies focus are your cup of tea.</p>

<p>From what I've seen just about every summer program is for current Juniors. Are there any summer programs for current sophomores that I can do? I'm looking for some in math/science.</p>

<p>My son has been in one residential summer program or another beginning with the summer after sixth grade. There is a good variety of programs for all ages in math and science--he started day commuter programs younger than that. </p>

<p>Please ask follow-up questions as needed.</p>

<p>Hello, I'm interested in Business, Music, Urban Studies, and Creative Writing. Are there any free programs (or ones you can apply for a scholarship) that I can sign up for? I'm also African-American. Any help? I've been looking. Can't find any!</p>

<p>Can anyone tell me any? Im applying to CMU SAMS. Anything else?</p>

<p>What is ur view on COSMOS or the Young scholars program as UC Davis?</p>

<p>BUMP!!!! please answer someone!!</p>

<p>There's TASS.
Considering it's the "sophomore TASP", I'd say it's pretty awesome.

<p>The emphasis of TASS is very different from TASP, from the website: </p>

<p>"African American high school sophomores, high school sophomores from other historical minorities as well as high school sophomores with an interest in African Amercian studies are especially encouraged to apply." </p>

<p>It is not just a sophomore version of TASP.</p>

12

<p>but im not african american . . . nor am i interested . . . er, do you have a science related good program for sophomores?</p>

13

<p>Aspects of TASS are science related. Last summer i did TAss, and my seminar was on epiedimology, and that is science related. </p>

<p>Also TASS is not just for AA, there were several students at TASS that were not AA. LIKE 10 out of 30</p>

14

<p>most science research/internship programs are limited to juniors, so i was wondering whether there are any particularly prestigious programs for freshmen or sophomores? i know of TASS for the liberal arts, that you can apply for an NIH internship...</p>

<p>A lot of subject-specific programs, some with very good financial aid, are open to sophomores or younger students. Typically math programs (the kind I'm most personally familiar with) involve taking a qualification quiz as part of the application process. I'm replying here so that people who know about writing-oriented or other humanities programs will also see the thread.</p>
