YSP or Research professor!!!

<p>I got into the Young Scholars Program at FSU. !!YAY!! But I also had made arrangements to work alongside with two professors at a local university. Which one should I choose????????</p>

<p>P.S: i know that this might be posted in the wrong place. but i couldnt find a suitable place to post it.</p>

<p>I think you should go for the YSP program but still continue on with the research when you come back. Plus you can also get a lot of the research done befor you go too.</p>

<p>b.u.m.p anyone else??</p>

<p>The YSP looks very promising. </p>

<p>Since it is apparently only a six-week program, maybe you can do both.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>See: <a href="http://bio.fsu.edu/ysp/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://bio.fsu.edu/ysp/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Here's a link to the FSU section:</p>

<p>If you had to choose, pick YSP! I attended it last year and loved every minute of it. </p>

<p>btw, what was the acceptance rate this year?</p>

<p>thanks for your suggestions guys.... hmmmm regarding the acceptance rate - i am not sure abt that but i do know that they accepted 40 ppl.</p>

<p>klepta: was the ysp useful when u applied to colleges?????
thx</p>

<p>Hopefully this proves YSP looks good on an application:
The majority of yspers from last year are going to MIT (5), followed by Yale (4) and Duke (4-including me), and Stanford (3). Other colleges represented include Harvard, Upenn, Wash U, Wakeforest, Chicago, Princeton, UF, Northwestern, Davidson, Carnegie Mellon, and Dartmouth.</p>

<p>Despite being at FSU, YSP is highly renowned. I discovered the program on the mit website- <a href="http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:QnNr845rlDAJ:matt.mitblogs.com/archives/2004/12/share_the_joy.html+ysp+fsu&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=5%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:QnNr845rlDAJ:matt.mitblogs.com/archives/2004/12/share_the_joy.html+ysp+fsu&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>thanks for the info.... i am prolly going to go to the YSP then and maybe continue my research with the professors</p>
