<p>Thanks. However I should also add… I will be doing a research project at a university that will be entered into NYCSEF (NYC regional science fair) next year and Intel the year after that. Participating in the Mountain School will not affect the research experiment itself (as the entire experiment and analysis will be done over the summer) but it will be an impediment when it comes to contacting my research adviser and mentors. Also some of the deadlines for the competitions are in the time when I would be in The Mountain School. So this is something else to consider… doing this program will probably affect the quality of my research project for NYCSEF and Intel.</p>
