Summer Programs whose deadlines have not yet passed

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>I have just come to the terrifying realization that I need to do something with my summer. I am a junior this year and have participated in academic programs for the past two summers, but I feel as though this "is it" and I need to broaden myself and set myself apart. That being said, I just started trawling the internet for information on hard-to-get-into/excellent summer programs for rising high school seniors that are impressive to colleges (I know that sounds horrible, but it would definitely be a plus), and to my horror, I found that many of the programs have admissions deadlines that have already passed.</p>

<p>Does anyone know of any pretty prestigious programs that have admissions deadlines that have not yet passed? I'm not very well-versed on the subject of summer programs, so I have trouble identifying the notable/reputable ones.</p>

<p>Any help would be tremendously appreciated!</p>

<p>The High School Honors program at Boston U. has a May 15 deadline. The cost is roughly $6k for 6 weeks, and you can do either 2 college courses or a science-based internship. If you want to apply for financial aid the deadline is April 20.</p>

<p>The app materials aren't hard to get at all, and if you're pulling B+'s in honors classes and got a 1250 on the SAT (CR/Math) you should be in good shape. I applied with grades slightly above that and a 141 (CR/Math) on the PSAT, so I think I'm in good shape. I hear back from them next week.</p>

<p>Here's the URL for the program...</p>

<p>Awesome Math Camp - you need to be pretty darn good in math. There are three rounds of application deadlines. Requires their own test.</p>

<p>Thanks, guys. I did get an invitation for the program at Boston U...I'll take that one into consideration. </p>

<p>Any other programs out there?</p>

<p>What are you looking for? Like, general academics, science, journalism, etc.</p>

<p>I love science, but I'm ironically not amazing at math, so an intensive math program is not for me. I'm very much into writing as well, though not necessarily journalism; basically anything science or humanities/writing related would be best.</p>

<p>I've also looked extensively into the NBTC program, but one of my best friends is applying, so I'm finding it a little difficult to bring myself to apply as well. I think that there's a very small chance of them accepting two students from the same school...does anyone else agree? It would be amazing if we both got in, but I don't want to somehow 'ruin' her chances. (Not that I'm a more competitive applicant than her...I just don't what to get accepted instead of her and have it cause tension in our friendship. If that makes sense...)</p>
