Summer Programs - Summer before Senior Year

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs

<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I'm just curious of any well-known summer programs for rising HS seniors that relate to politics(and similar humanities) or business, that have a selective admissions process. </p>

<p>The ones I'm looking at now (not likely I'll be accepted by either, but hey..) are TASP and the Summer Clerical Program at the U.S. Dept. of State.</p>

<p>I'm not dead set on any program - I know for the type of program I want admissions will be tough - but the reason I ask is that I don't want to miss any deadlines/rush any essays.</p>

<p>Thanks for any ideas!</p>

<p>JSA has some politics related programs.</p>

<p>Economics for Leaders is good and relatively selective one week program for rising seniors. Its major emphasis is in teaching economics and leadership to high school rising seniors.</p>

<p>I’ll second Economics for Leaders. And it costs next to nothing.</p>

<p>I second JSA.</p>

<p>You can take AP Macroeconomics as your course, and during Congressional Workshops (debates), you can easily debate some economics related topic like China or austerity.</p>
