<p>Sooo, I'm currently a junior in high school looking for something really prestigious to put on my app as something I did this summer. Obviously it's not all for the app, I do want something really rewarding. Any suggestions? I am a 800CR, 800W, 680M person, if that gives you any clues. So no RSI or summer research lab internships...but what does that leave me? I want to do political science/government in college, but I also would enjoy a writing program since that is a strong point of mine, relatively speaking. So...
1. TASP (need more info)
2. Harvard SSP (anyone got any info on this?)
3. ..???</p>
<p>So no one here has ever heard of any summer programs besides RSI and TASP? Thanks bunches!!!!!! AAAAAH im so doomed.</p>
<p>It really depends on what's available in the community in which you live. For example, living in Switzerland I got an internship working at CERN building particle detectors. Therefore, I think that you should look for programs near you that might be very prestigious but also unique at the same time. I don't really know anything about political science or government. I'm just giving my 2 cents.</p>
<p>whats TASP? </p>
<p>Also, I'm looking for some kind of political science/law/government internship/fellowship/program to? Anyone have past experiences they want to share?</p>
<p>SSP = Summer Science Program? That is an astronomy program that has nothing to do with Harvard. Or is there another SSP?<a href="http://www.summerscience.org/home/index.php%5B/url%5D">http://www.summerscience.org/home/index.php</a></p>
<p>Harvard SSP isn't that prestigious, I believe. The three big ones are RSI, TASP, and QuestScholars (althought you have to be low income for the last one). Notice these three are also free - any summer program that you have to pay a lot of money for (such as HARVARD SSP) isn't worth it. Basically anyone can get in as long as they're willing to write the check.</p>
