There are a lot of discussions on good summer programs to do, but some of them are bogged down with a lot of comments, and it is hard for me to find anything that I like or haven’t heard. So, I’m making this chat for fresh comments from 2015 and not 2010! I am interested in medical programs, but any science programs are good too. Of course, I want this post to help others as well, so you can post information for other programs also. Please specify where these programs are (I’m in Michigan) and how much they cost (the cheaper, the better!). Obviously, it’s a little late to sign up for programs for this summer, but that doesn’t really matter as long as the program exists next summer. Thanks!
Are you a girl? If so, you can apply to the Joyce Ivy Foundation for a scholarship to take to a summer program (at Harvard, Yale, Brown, etc) and the application is still open for this year.

Here are a few programs (I don’t think any are prestigious or that hard to get in to), a bunch of these schools/programs offer other science related courses if you just look around on their website. Cost is found on the websites.
