Ideas for summer programs

$

I wanted to get ideas for summer programs for my daughter who will be a rising junior this summer. We would like her to explore a program at a college. I've read that applications will be opening soon and I want to make sure that we don't miss the deadline. She is not sure what she would like to pursue in college yet. She likes Math a lot. I think because it come easy for her and tries to stay away from history and reading. She is very bubbly and loves to be around people. She is one social butterfly but very focused when it comes to school work. I am not sure what would be something good for her that she could explore. If you have any suggestions, I'll share those with her and look into it together. Thank you.

Hey! The applications for LEDA opened today! I've seen in past years that there's usually a application thread, so here you go, you're welcome :). A bit of background: Leadership Enterprise for a Diverse America is an all-expenses paid seven-week summer program at Princeton University for low-income students. I've heard so much about it so I'm really excited.

Does anyone know if summer program interns at the Jackson Laboratories will be working on live mice models or is it cell cultures of the mouse? I am little terrified of working on the live mice.

Hey guys, I thought I should start a thread for the TRIALS program for 2020. I'm applying for the first time, and I have absolutely no idea how competitive an applicant I am for this program (since my SAT score kind of sucked). I was hoping maybe past applicants could give some advice? Or maybe this year's applicants would like to discuss the whole process together?

Hey guys! I have not seen any TASP threads for those of us applying this year for the 2020 program, so I thought I'd make a thread to see who all is going to be applying so we can have our own little community to talk about our essays. Let's hope this goes well!

Hi, I just wanted to create this as a discussion place for people applying to the SAMS program this year at Carnegie Mellon. I do have one question though. What are you guys writing for the description of participation part for your extracurricular activities? Is just I'm a member of x, y, z club or do you have to get specific of what you do and what happens in your extracurricular?

@thescisquad and @AxolotlMaster both posted some really helpful info about the RIBS program. Does anyone have other experiences or tips for applying, or maybe a syllabus? I'd really love to attend and I will have taken both AP Chem and AP Bio by then, but I don't really have great science-y EC's.
