I got a letter and certificate from this "academy", it costs about 2000 dollars (with added airfare) to Boston when I live in Houston Texas. It is expensive and I don't think its worth it. Seems like a scam but not sure, thoughts?
I got in in the mail with a letter addressed to me, not my parents, with a certificate of nomination, and some basic info. If you search it up online the website seems legit but not sure. Real or fake?

Is Yale Young Global Scholars Worth it?
I'd like to attend a good summer program this summer (currently sophomore). I received an email from Yale Young Global Scholars. As it is incredibly expensive, I was wondering if it is truly worth it. Does it give you a boost on college apps? Any other suggestions for other summer programs would be great too!
Thank you :)

UF SSTP
Can someone who attended the UF-SSTP in past provide me with his/her research paper or tell me, in detail, about the activities. I want to apply there for mathematics or physics, so it is preferred if some describes me about the activities.
Also, can anyone send me his/her curriculum vitae(CV). I have qualified for INMO (Indian national mathematics olympiad equivalent to USAMO ) and 1st round of physics Olympiad (these are my 2 major achievements). How good is my chance of getting selected.
I just going to apply for it, so please try to provide me the information asap. I am already very late to apply.

LBW Wharton 2018
hey guys! I didn't find a thread discussing LBW apps for this year, so I decided to start one.
who's applying? how's your application (essays!!) coming along?
as for me, I've read the previous discussions pretty extensively, mostly out of procrastination, and the camp seems to be an incredible experience (past attendees, I'd love your input). I don't have a successful business (or a business at all), and I don't have much of a chance of getting in, but I'm really interested, so I figured I'd give it a shot anyways.

I was recently chosen to be a semifinalist for the New Jersey Scholars program and I am rather nervous about the interview. If anyone has gone through the interview process, what kind of questions do they ask? What types of answers are they looking for? What should I wear to the interview (business clothes, jeans and a nice shirt, school pride gear, etc.)? Any tips? Please answer soon. The interview is in a few weeks!

Has anyone heard of Vanderbilt's Asprinaut Summer Research Program for high schoolers? Is it competitive and/or prestigious? How independent is the research (i.e. is there potential to work on a project and get published)?

Rockefeller SSRP essay question
Hello, could someone who was accepted for this program previously or who applied tell me how long their first essay was? (this is the one with the essay question where you get to choose the prompt you respond to). I'm trying to gauge how long it should be. Additionally, I would love any tips for applying you might have because my GPA tanked by .7 this semester, with most of the bad grades concentrated in core classes (yes, I am well aware of how bad this is, and no I do not have extenuating circumstances, I was just completely stupid and got hooked on some mobile games (not going to name which)).

Summer Competitions
Hello there, I am a hopeful future Dartmouth student. Dartmouth is my number one school - I have the sports, the grades, the community service, and SAT scores. However, in the "what are my chances" section of the forum I was told I need to find some competitions over the summer to make my application stand out. This is totally true, so I really want to know what are some competitions that revolve around either Writing, Science, or International Relations. Furthermore, I would be interested in any competitions that involve either Poly Sci, Pre-Med, or Mandarin (I am majoring in either Poly or Pre-Med and a language). Thanks in advance!

How does my summer schedule look?
So this summer is going to be pretty dope. But this is also the summer before I apply to very selective colleges such as Dartmouth, McGill, and UCLA this fall. So between the summer trips with family and friends - I wanted to know how this would look to a college. I am going to take several APs over the summer: AP Calc BC, AP Physics 1, AP Gov, and AP CS A. Furthermore, I am doing a few competitions (just to stand out). Lastly, Fall sports start practice in August. I think that's pretty much all my summer can handle, but how would this look to selective colleges. I'd much rather tell my friends I cant make it on a trip to make sure that my application stands out.

18 credits during Summer
Has anyone taken 18 credit during summer semester (9 credit a block)?
I'm planning on taking 9 credit a block and even thought I not a procrastinator and I will not work during this time I have 3 kids and I have never taken more than 9 credit a semester (only because of the fear of failing a class). I only have 4 semesters left to finish my B.S. degree. I'm thinking of doing this so I can do an internship next spring.
I want to hear from people that have done this.
How did you do? Is it doable? What was the hardest thing? What is something you didn't expect? Would you recommend it? Something that I should know that I'm not thinking about?
