Which mathcamp is more prestigious?
Ross or SUMaC?
Thanks!
what about LBW at wharton?
@mathphysi LBW is not too bad. It is does teach you some key leadership and business concepts (from what Iâve heard). However, it does not allow you to get a deep understanding of business/leadership/startups. If youâre truly interested in business and leadership, I would advise you to try and start your own company. Do it either by applying to a startup program (e.g MIT Launch, Catapult) or just starting one yourself!
@tybae They are both equally respected. They are both great programs for exploring your interests in maths. I would also recommend you to look into HCSSiM and PROMYS. Theyâre great programs that, in my opinion, provide you with more scope when it comes to what you want to learn.
Are there any prestigious FREE medical camps?
Princeton Laboratory Learners Program- 7-week research with a professors in the Plasma Labs looks pretty good, its highly selective too, only 20 or so kids get to join.
Any thoughts on the Harvard Summer School?
Exploration at Yale-Foreign Affairs Focus

One of the things which most impressed the GW admissions on my daughters resume! She was accepted to GW, Elliot School (University Honors Program and Presidental Academic Scholarship).
If someone does a summer program abroad then where do they enter that info?
@WorryHurry411 Many colleges who use the Common App allow you to attach your full resume. The Common App provides 10 resume items to be included. If not, you can include the summer program information under the âCommon Appâ tab. Log into your Common App. You have four tabs at the top. Choose âCommon Appâ. Then choose âWritingâ on the left side. Scroll to the bottom and choose âAdditional Informationâ. This will allow you to include the summer program if it doesnât not fit the 10 resume category. The word count is 600. This allowed my daughter to discuss additional summer programs and published articles. Hopes this helps. 
If youâre into Model UN, thereâs a new camp run by Yaleâs International Relations club. Itâs called the YMUN Institute. Not sure how good it looks, but I guess because of the name it would be pretty good!!
What are good summer programs for an upcoming 10th grader interested in science?
@Anonymousia Are you open to traveling out of your state? (We drove our sweet girl 16 hours to Yale for a two week program but not everyone wants to go that far). What kind of science, in particular, is your child interested in?
Actually, Iâm the child but yes, I am open to that as long as its âworth itâ and its not too expensiveâŠ

Are there any good engineering programs in California?
Iâve read free programs usually hold more prestige than paid ones, just because of selectivity. Does anybody know any prestigious ones in the field of medicine? Iâd also be open to some leadership ones; I believe those are always benefitial. Please tell me if you have any suggestions or past experiences; I am a rising sophomore.
Sidenote: I was searching for programs that might interest me that take place during spring or winter break, but could hardly find any. Am I not looking hard enough or are programs just usually not available during these breaks?
@gene167e7 California has a ton of opportunities, but youâll find even more if youâre willing to venture out. In California, COSMOS (https://cosmos-ucop.ucdavis.edu/) is probably your best bet; you can also do pre-college at USC (http://viterbi.usc.edu/students/undergrad/ced/stemprograms/summer-engineering/). If youâre willing to go out of California, youâll find plenty of engineering programs, like the NYLFâs (https://www.envisionexperience.com/explore-our-programs/national-youth-leadership-forum-engineering-and-technology), and if youâre a passionate scholar, you might even get accepted for RSI (https://www.cee.org/research-science-institute), which is free and very prestigious. Hope you find a program that suits you just right! 
Most adcoms say that expensive paid programs or financial aid programs for underprivileged can be a good experience for yourself but they donât give you any boost in admissions, competitive ones with merit scholarships do.
