<p>There is an engineering/summer research program called YESS at CalTech, but the online site says that it is only for "underrepresented minorities in math/science like Native Americans, Lations, and African americans." I am asian, so can I still apply for it? And would it be a prestigious program for me? Thanks!</p>
<p>BUMP???????? please answer.</p>
<p>Ask yourself this: do you consider yourself an underrepresented minority in math/science?</p>
<p>^ well..on the website it says that "others can apply as well" butttt I was wondering if the majority of people there were going to be URM's?</p>
<p>YESS</a> Program Application</p>
<p>"Who Should Apply:
Outstanding high school sophomores and juniors who are traditionally underrepresented in science and engineering fields ( Native Americans, Latinos, and African-Americans). Others who believe they would benefit from this program are also encouraged to apply."</p>
<p>That said, there are about 30 spots for approximately 500 applicants, so chances are low for anyone, and likely even more so for non-URMs.</p>
