<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I just saw a thread about Northwestern's HPME (Honors Program in Medical Education) program, which i had never heard about previously even though it looks like one of the most competitive programs in the nations.
Other than this program, I also know of UPenn's Huntsman program for international studies and business that is also extremely competitive.</p>

<p>So, does anybody on this forum know of any other hyper-competitive programs out there?</p>

<p>I thought that was the point of this thread? To go in that direction?</p>

<p>^ thought the OP might have been refering to specific programs within a university, rather than hyperselective institutions as a whole.</p>
