<p>I'm sorry for the question, I'm sure it's been answered before. However, I don't think the search function would work for this.</p>
<p>You really have to check with each program individually. Most will be very specific, for example that you apply as a jr and attend as a rising sr.</p>
<p>Do you have a specific program you're interested in?</p>
<p>Not any in particular, but the question just arose from browsing the TASP thread. I'm currently going into Sophomore year, 2011</p>
<p>TASP is for rising Seniors, so you apply during your Jr year. There are definitely more summer programs for the summer between Jr and Sr year than for younger students.</p>
<p>Hmm...from what I read, "rising junior" most of the times means summer before junior (after sophomore year). But it does vary with programs--Senate Page & House Programs have "rising junior" meaning summer before junior and summer after junior.</p>
