<ul>
<li>I live in New York and need good summer programs not to far that colleges would like to see.(But not to much; aren't that finically stable)</li>
</ul>

<p>~ I plan to try to apply to Harvard, Princeton, and Columbia. Want to show them, I did something productive over the summer to impress them a little. (I want to go to an Ivy league).</p>

<p>The point of doing a summer program is not to impress an Ivy League adcom.</p>

<p>Find something that you will enjoy. It’s better than getting into a prestigious program in which you don’t have fun.</p>

<p>The best one, though, to answer your question, is RSI, but you should have started looking at that and other programs last November/December. Many good programs’ application windows are closed now.</p>

<p>Go try an internship or volunteer work.</p>
