Summer Programs That Look Good on College Applications

<p>It is preferable to do a research program over classes and I believe Clark’s actually pays the students.</p>

<p>RISE at Boston University & HSSRP at UCLA
Could anyone with any knowledge on either of these programs explain how prestigious they are in comparison with each other? I have to decide by tomorrow, lol</p>

<p>UCLA HSSRP is free and BU RISE is a couple thousand dollars, correct? If so, I would definitely go with HSSRP.</p>

<p>Hahah on the surface, I definitely agree. But it was difficult to even find HSSRP and RISE has more applicants and the same number of participants so I was wondering if maybe to colleges there would be a difference in their appearance</p>

<p>Also, at the moment, I would prefer going to NE for college (Cali isn’t far behind though)</p>

<p>What about the apprenticeship position in <a href=“http://www.educationaladvancement.org/programs/apprenticeship?[/url]”>www.educationaladvancement.org/programs/apprenticeship?</a></p>

<p>My D (HS Junior) has ben accepted as an apprentice for summer 2013 at the Semel Institute and her goal is to become a psychiatrist too which is why she is excited about shadowing neuropsychologists and professors as a part of this apprenticeship.</p>

<p>Has anybody done this before and do you have anything to share about its applicability to collrge admissions?</p>

<p>Hi guys! </p>

<p>there is a leadership conference in hong kong called International Student Leadership Conference Hong Kong that goes on during summer for a week. There are around 60 students in the conference from around the world. I’ve personally been to this conference and it was a phenomenal experience to meet people and to learn about leadership.</p>

<p>I highly recommend LEDA SHOLARS!! IT is for rising seniors, applications are usually due around October!! the website is [url=&lt;a href=“http://www.ledascholars.org/]LEDA[/url”&gt;http://www.ledascholars.org/]LEDA[/url</a>] it is highly selective and looks amazing on college apps! it pays for everything and this year it is hosted at Princeton.</p>

<p>If you’re near Philadelphia then check UPenn they have good summer programs</p>

<p>Tried to get into SAAST for summer 2013 but they wouldn’t take me</p>

<p>How about internships do they look good?</p>

<p>I can’t seem to find a website for the Hong Kong program…do you know what it is? What did it cost? Thanks!</p>

<p>Do you guys have any suggestions for art schools?</p>

<p>art driven programs* excuse me :o</p>

<p>How about the Dallas/Plano, TX area in Summer 2014? I’ve heard of UTD Nanoexplorers and Clark Scholars, but are there any others?</p>

<p>If you enjoy science - Baylor Summer Scholars - very competitive.</p>

<p>Thanks, are you referring to HSSSRP? Also, I am a rising high school sophomore (will enter 10th grade in the fall).</p>
