Canada Research Science Institute
I got an email from Maite Ballestero saying that RSI only accepts Canadian students from Newfoundland. She says this has always been the case. Is this true?

International student applying to RSI?
Hi,
I am an international student interested in applying to the Research Science Institute and have noticed that the page states that international students have their own selection procedure and schedule. I'd like to hear from international students who have previously applied to RSI: did you fill in the application on the page or contacted CEE and followed a completely different application procedure? Any help and further details will be very much appreciated!

Legitimate Law Programs?
I’ve been looking into summer law programs but a lot of the ones I’ve found, especially some of the ones at really prestigious schools, look good at first, but from further research it seems like they’re just scams for money that don’t help you in the admissions process at all. What are some summer law programs that will actually teach me something and help my college application?

Requirments for Senate Page Program?
Hello! I'm a junior this year and I just started looking to the US Senate Page Program. I was thinking of applying, but I had a couple of questions that i've been struggling to find the answesrs for. Like, do you get to choose which session you apply for, or do they assign it to you. Also, I noticed that on my Senator's page there was a short list of things needed to submit and requirments, and then while I was reading up I saw that there were some requirements like holding a student office position, etc. Does anyone know if those are requirments set by the program, or just the specific senator?

COSMOS 2020 Thread
Hi guys!
From what i can see, at the moment there isn't a thread for COSMOS 2020 so I'm starting one.
Just some general questions I have
1. best campus (like scenery and just general niceness)
2. most and least competitive campus or clusters
3. other ppl who have gotten in stats or watever
i really want to do a bio cluster because I LOVE biology, but i heard those are REALLLY competitive
my stats
asian gorl (if that matters)
9th grade (which sucks because 9th graders don't really get in ;(
academics
-4.0 GPA hopefully
- taking APWH and AP Calc BC this year
- took 5 APs last year (Calc BC, Bio, Macro/Microecon, Psych)
- 2 800's on SAT Subject tests (Bio M and Math 2)
extracurriculars
- choir since grade 1 (but that probs don't really matter cuz its a STEM camp rip)
- science bowl since 6th grade, went to nats last year and got 6th out of 48 teams
- and thats basically it rip
( ^^^ not trying to flex bros. i don't want to be that one pretentious fool who has a huge ego![:(]( ":(")
but thats wat i sound like right now ik)
last year i applied but i didn't get in. probs cuz i realized cosmos was a thing like 2 weeks before the deadline but watever.
do you think i have a chance? i don't have that many sciency extracirriculars which sucks.
also which cluster/school should i apply.
(note - i realllllly want to go to COSMOS because freedom from parents and actualy hands on experience. also everyone says COSMOS is really fun and interesting)

MIT THINK Scholar Advice
I want to submit my proposal for the MIT THINK Scholars program. Any previous winners have advice? Does anyone know how many people apply each year? They send results back really fast (according to the timeline they posted) so I assumed not many. Also, how was the experience? Did you enjoy it? Do you think this would look good on a college application? It's not a program where you pay to go and is based solely on your work.

COSMOS
Hello,
I know it's pretty early to be thinking about this since COSMOS application doesn't start until a few months later, but I was wondering if anyone knows how competitive Quantum Mechanics/Nanotechnology cluster at UC Davis is?
Thanks

High School Diplomats 2019
Hi! I didn't see a forum for HSD 2019 yet, so I decided to make one.
"High School Diplomats (HSD) is a scholarship program that brings together high school students from the United States and Japan each summer through two parallel experiences. HSD U.S. provides the opportunity for American and Japanese students to meet at Princeton University for ten days of cultural exchange. HSD Japan allows American students who have successfully completed HSD U.S. to apply for a full scholarship to travel to Japan for a month the following summer."

Summer Programs for Rising Sophomores
Hello! I'm currently a freshman in high school and I'm looking at various summer programs I could attend.
Just FYI, I live in California and attend a top public high school. I'm pretty much set on doing something in the business/entrepreneurship/finance field, and I would also love to pursue law after my undergraduate years. My dream school is the University of Pennsylvania, specifically Wharton. In school, I participate in Speech & Debate, Mock Trial, DECA, and Investment Club. I also participate in molecular biology/environmental science research, so COSMOS is already in my radar and I'm planning to apply.
What summer programs should I apply to that I'm eligible for (in age)? Recommendations can range from business to debate to law, or really anything in between that will enhance my future application to universities, and most importantly, be a great experience.
Thank you all ahead of time!

NC Governor's School Admissions
I have two questions: 1) Are any of the subjects more competitive than the others? I'm pretty open to most of the subjects (sounds fake but I actually am pretty interested in most things) and am wondering if applying for one would increase or decrease me chances. 2) what are they looking for? how does the admissions process work?
thanks to anyone who has any input, these are super specific questions!
