Hey guys I was wondering if anyone from the past could shine some light on what kind of extracurriculars are needed to get into the semifinals for this program. Also, does GPA weigh more than the personal essays or is it the other way around? My counselor just gave me the form to fill out and I just want some more information about the program.

Summer Discovery program at UCLA or UCLA Business
Do any of you have any experience with this program? The write-up looks great, but it's certainly pricey. Is the program intensive enough to justify the cost? We're looking at a 2 or 3 week business-related summer program. Is there enough supervision for off-campus events?
Normally I'd try to go with something straight through the university and not from a provider, but UCLA does not offer any business classes for high school students in its Summer Institute.

summer programs
I am a sophmore intersted in physical therapy. I have searched for summer programs that explore tgis field but have come up short. I have been thinking about applying for a stem based program, possibly environmental science. If I don't do a program, then I will be a horse camp counselor for 3-4 weeks and go to the njcl (latin) convention; I will also, hopefully, shadow a physical therapist (which hopefully will not be to hard to set up since i am in physicaal therapy right now.)
Would a summer program be worth it?
Do you know of any programs with a PT emphasis?
Should i just forget about the summer program idea?
*I do realize that many application deadlines have passes*

I can't seem to find this year one so I am starting a new discussion!
I have been working on my application but my essays are not 1000 words and they are like 400-500 words. Is everyone writing 1000 words essays?

Bank of America Student Leaders 2018
Hey guys, so I'm planning on applying for this but I heard it's nearly impossible to get into with an acceptance rate harder than Harvard. I don't know if I have enough leadership experience and service hours to get in to this but I wanted to make a thread for everyone who's applying for 2018. What have you guys heard about the competition? Do you know if there will be interviews? I'm from the San Francisco bay area, has anyone heard anything about the competitiveness of the markets around here?
Also, if anyone has tips on what they look for in the application (like is it the essays, the letter of recs, or service hours that matter the most), please do send advice!

CMU Academy for Math and Science 2018 Discussion Thread
Hi!!
I'm considering applying for SAMS and I think it'd help me and others as well if we can share suggestions, tips, insider information, etc. on this. 6 weeks is a long time to be away from home, for me it's three hours away.
Here's my stats: GPA: 3.96 W, SAT: 1160 (First time, will be taking in March), ACT: 24 (First time, taking again in February)
AP and college level math and science, anticipating a good science recommendation
If anyone would like to share their stats, or if they've been accepted (Not sure anyone has at this point) tell what you did... anyone who has been there before and has any reviews or insider tips, all would be appreciated!!!
Also, is this more ethnic minorities that are chosen? I'm not an ethnic minority, but I am an economic minority (1st in family to go to college, rural high school, generally lower income area)

AMA: LaunchX (MIT Launch) '17 alum
It's that time of year again... Summer program applications are open!
MIT Launch '17 alum here. If you have any questions on application process / life at Launch / curriculum / company continuing, let me know and I will try my best to answer.
A few things about admission:
- they don't really care about your transcript - as long as you don't have bunch of Cs you should be fine.
- the video matters a lot
- they have alum application readers summarize applications and make recommendations
- having a LaunchX club or being in the LaunchX regional leadership can be a huge boost
- applied previous years (and rejected) can be a boost
- from underrepresented countries can be a boost
*those are just my observations - totally unofficial.
Why apply to Launch:
- the program is highly hands on. You form REAL REAL REAL company with your team and make lifelong friends.
- most companies formed at Launch continues after the conclusion of the program. I've heard of companies from two years ago still running and making enough money to be self-sufficient.
- every single lecture (maybe except the first three days) is designed to support your company growth. the lecturer (sometime guest speakers) are highly knowledgeable in their respective field and usually will stay 10 minutes after lecture to answer individual questions. You learn everything from primary market research (PMR) to professional marketing. You even get legal consulting!
- walking distance to venture cafe - meet the entrepreneurs from all around boston there!
- great working environment. who doesn't love to work in a conference room with view to Charles River.
- Launch reimburse some of your prototyping costs.
- You get a lot of exercise during lunch - walking from seniors house to sloan is no joke (go look it up on google maps)
Do not apply to Launch if you are trying to:
- get a golden ticket to MIT. While Launch team has a good relationship with MIT Admissions, they are definitely not a golden ticket.
- just to fill your time. you simply won't get in if you aren't passionate.
- make money. if you are just here to make money, you probably won't succeed in your company, therefore, losing all your money spent on camp cost.
Again if you have any questions about Launch, just let me know. Good luck on your applications everyone!

Advice about summer debate camps for novice Public Forum student
Hello
I am looking for advice about which summer debate camp would best meet the needs of my son. He will be going into 9th grade next year (but is taking high school classes in middle school) and has only participated in one school sponsored debate. However, he really enjoys debate and I was thinking I would sign him up for a 2 week summer camp.
I am considering the following camps and would love advice from those who have gone or are knowledgable.
Since he is a beginner, I want the camp to be a fun experience, not super competitive and for him to meet and become friends with like minded individuals.
The Dartmouth camp is most convenient but I am not sure how suitable or how well-run it is. I asked his high school coach about Dartmouth and he said that they do a different style of debate in Vermont (where we are) and the skills wouldn't transfer. This makes no sense to me.
These are the camps I have researched for Public Forum debate
:Dartmouth Debate Institute, either Fundamentals for students new to debate or Public Forum
VictoryBriefs Institute:
Institute for Speech and Debate
Thanks in advance for any advice.
