<p>oops sorry…found what I need to do…</p>
<p>Any summer science research programs that take rising juniors? I have a friend in 10th grade now who is looking and not finding much…</p>
<p>SSP takes rising juniors, but it is very difficult to get in that way.</p>
<p>@narak SSP cal tech? They say they only take current juniors at both NM and CA campuses. Is that the one you are talking about?</p>
<p>Ok I see they allow sophomores to apply but it doesn’t sound ideal. He is interested in more biological sciences too so probably not the right place for him. Any others?</p>

Did you look at COSMOS? I went to COSMOS last year and it was a blast. I was an international student, so I did not know what to expect but I ended up truly enjoying myself with both the intellectual and social experience (more emphasis on social.)</p>
<p>Yeah, COSMOS seems pretty attractive: I have a friend who went, and it was the time of his life.</p>
<p>What about the Duke or Boston College ones? I’ve gotten a lot of info about them but I’m not sure how great they are, lol. (I don’t remember the names of them, sorry I’m new to the whole summer programs thing lol)</p>
<p>The Duke one seems interesting but idk web the application deadline is. </p>
<p>Did you mean the Boston Univeristy? Cause that’s the only one I know of</p>
<p>How’s the Stanford program?</p>
<p>Is COSMOS really good, research wise?Could you please suggest some good summer programs for me? I am interested in something related to physics and maths. Also I am an international student in my junior year .</p>
<p>Are you talking about EPGY?</p>
<p>Yeah the boston university one lol. Those are the only ones that I’ve heard anything about before. And the Emory one.</p>
<p>Lol so go for the Boston one it seems really interesting. Try out Georgetown, UCLA, and SIMR (Stanford’s medical program).</p>
<p>As for COSMOS, I am not sure about how much research is involved in the program. I would assume their is a lot, but idk. Check out the program description on their website. It’s pretty well explained.</p>
<p>BS ESL summer school which 1 for intl student?</p>
<p>Hello</p>
<p>I am from France and would like to send my 13 year old kid to ESL summer school in July.</p>
<p>I have made a shortlist of:</p>
<p>-Salisbury
-Choate
-Loomis Chaffee
-Taft
-NMH</p>
<p>anybody could give me some feedback on those school and their summer program especially ESL if possible?</p>
<p>some of the questions I have:</p>
<ul>
<li>how are the campus? which one would be good for a true NE campus experience?</li>
<li>are the teachers regular teacher from the school or summer intern?</li>
<li>how safe are those campus and surrounding?</li>
<li>how good a job do they make to really integrate international students into campus life?</li>
<li>international students and americans are really encourage to mix?</li>
<li>anybody has gone to NMH community service class? what is it exactly?</li>
<li>any feedback on off campus trip?</li>
<li>I was thinking that a smaller program such as Loomis or Salisbury might be a plus for integration, what do you think?</li>
<li>are the international student body really diverse in terms of origin? I don’t want my kid to end up with a crowd of french speaking students?</li>
</ul>
<p>I am interested in any good or bad feed back you might have, this will greatly help me to take a decision.</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>@yodisare For a 13 year old I would look at Explo. Www.explo.org. Kids from all over the world. Really phenomenal program.</p>
<p>Im having a hard time finding summer programs that I can apply to.
I trying to look for programs that aren’t as hard to get into as Rockefeller, NIH ( internship), etc
. but are going to look good to colleges. Looking for one’s in or close to NY too.</p>
<p>ANY IDEAS?</p>
<p>Quick question, for the programs that are out of state, you have to basically fly out there yourself and secure housing right? I’m in CA so I can apply to SIMR/COSMOS etc, but I’m not sure if there are many viable ones out of state that provide for housing, etc</p>
<p>A bit of a digression, but it’s great to see Explo mentioned here. I was at Explo (or Exploration as it was originally called) during its first two summers, at Brandeis in the mid-70’s. It was a groundbreaking program, as academic summer programs at that time were pretty much all remedial. The idea of a summer camp where kids could do academic work just for the fun of it was novel. I remember that, among other things, I took a computer programming course and a course in ESP (debunking it-heavy in probability), got on TV playing the kazoo and singing next to an anteater sand sculpture at the Crane Beach sandcastle competition, and learned to ride a unicycle from a young MIT student (Barry Nalebuff, who now teaches at Yale.)</p>
<p>An article in a Boston paper called it “Summer camp for eggheads.” We proudly wore the moniker.

<p>How prestigious is HSHSP at MSU? It costs about $3,500 and with the financial aid that I think I could get (if I get accepted) may be around 50%. Also, is there a different HSHSP at Baylor or somewhere that is also really prestigious? Because I have seen a couple of posts where people say Baylor’s HSHSP and so I am not sure what people refer to when they HSHSP. </p>
