Which Program to do???

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs

<p>Hey everyone,
Lets say hypothetically (the key word here) that I were to get into all of these summer programs. Which ones should I choose? </p>

<p>TASP
SAMS
NIH Summer Research
Clark Scholars at Texas Tech
Cornell Nanobiotechnology
College Bridge Program at Northwestern (College</a> Bridge Program - Summer Session at Northwestern University) </p>

<p>My aunt was the head of research at NIH, so I am not worried about getting in for that one. The others are somewhat random though. I would just like to know what looks better and what is more beneficial (educational wise- not college wise). Thanks!</p>

<p>I would do TASP, hands down.</p>

3

<p>NIH summer research, hands down.</p>

4

<p>Cornell Nanobiotechnology, hands down.</p>

<p>Why? What is so great about it? My brother got an e-mail saying he was in the finalist pool today. They want more information next week. Anyone actually know someone who did this program?</p>

<p>Referring to Cornell NBT</p>

<p>I don't know about the programs themselves and which appeals to you the most, but if you judge by sheer prestige and difficulty to get into, Cornell whips all the others. Ten out of NINE HUNDRED get chosen. NINE HUNDRED. TEN. It's like getting into Harvard twice.</p>

<p>There was no clue in the e-mail about the size of the finalist pool and when the lucky 10 will hear. I think he basically forgot about this program after no word for months. Parents have deposits down on other summer programs with more $ due soon. I can't seem to find anyone on cc who's actually gotten in and gone.</p>

<p>Search last year's Cornell NanoBio threads. I think 3 or 4 CC people went.</p>
