There’s a new science research program at Yale, the Yale Summer Program in Astrophysics (yspa.yale.edu) that physics/astronomy people might consider. It’s two weeks online followed by four weeks at Yale doing real research. It’s new as of last year, so it’s not as well known.

Does anyone know really good creative writing programs?

@lbm104 iowa young writers’ studio :smiley:

How good is Berkeley’s summer institute for gifted (https://secure.giftedstudy.org/sig/pdf/catalog_residential.pdf) for rising sophomores? Will add any value?

Are there any summer programs taking place in late June or in August for very high achieving rising sophomores? Bonus if related to STEM/Business/Finance or entrepreneurial subject matter. Already enrolled in a 2 week program spanning mid to late July. Thanks!!.

so i got a letter in the mail yesterday but i am the only one who got it and im having trouble understanding why

@littleworker what program?

I’m a sophomore right in the middle of school but I’m trying to find summer programs that are still accepting applications. I’m trying to find programs that deal with international affairs, debating, or improving leadership skills. The programs that I’m also looking for is all-paid expense or scholarship based programs. So far I’ve only found one program to my liking but if any of you know any more please tell me. Thank you
