RISD Pre-College
Hi!
I have read many reviews regarding RISD Pre-College and I have already been accepted. I saw that it is a lot of hard work and that will require many hours of work. However, I have not seen any reviews on how free time is spent. For example, what is the curfew? Are we allowed to do whatever when we do not have class? How is the dorming situation? Is it divided by genders or by major? Also, are rooms double? Can someone please answer my questions I am very worried about how my time there will be spent.

Is this a good path for getting accepted into Princeton or MIT?
Hello. I'm a Sophomore in HS currently interested in pursuing a career in mathematics. The two top colleges that have caught my attention the most are Princeton and MIT. Now, the most important thing for me is not getting accepted. The most important thing to me is pursuing my interest, and becoming so filled with passion and skill and experience in it, that being accepted is merely a byproduct of that. One critical aspect that I have discovered on the matter of getting applied to an Ivy or a near-Ivy, is the pursuit and clear passion in a field, and an as close to as possible mastery of that field achieveable. I plan on expanding my passion and discovering my true interests through one of these programs. This summer, I received a letter in the mail from Brown. It was for the Pre-College Programs they were offering. Immediately, I thought what a great idea this was to get some experience. After a bit of research, a lot of which came from this forum, I learned that pre-college programs like Brown's and even Harvard's were more or less money ploys. The best that they offered, I learned, were experience. And definitely not something to consider putting on an application, especially not if the application isn't to the school with which you did the program. So, I began to look for more, focused summer programs. I learned from that research, that the best programs were ones like MOSP and RSI. Through even further research, I learned that, with no other similar experience, applying to these would not be the best for me right now, since: 1.) I would probably get rejected; 2.) It's apparently better to apply as a Junior or Senior; and 3.) The deadlines for this year have closed. Maybe I should have started with 3. No? So, I concluded that the best course of action would be to apply to go to one of the paid programs this year, for some baseline, easy experience. Then, I would go to a fairly-moderate program into which to get accepted, like PROMYS; and finally, with two more years of experience under my belt than would have been currently, I would apply to RSI. And, if I was not accept there (about which I would be disappointed), I would try for another research program like RSI. Is this a good game plan for gaining experience and knowledge in the math field? I want to know if I'm headed in the right direction. Also, I would like to take the USAMO or AIME, but I'm not sure as to when I would. I plan on taking the SAT as well. I have already taken the PSAT (1280, decent I suppose), and am taking one AP this year, and three to four next year. I am ranked #10 in my class, and I am working toward getting higher. Really just looking for some general guidance here. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading this far.

NIH Summer Internship Program Housing Thread- Summer 2017
Hello everybody! Since people are starting to get accepted into the NIH SIP, I thought it would be a good idea to make a thread for people who are looking for roommates.
If you could post in this format, it would be a lot easier to connect with potential roommates.
Grade:
Age:
Which branch (NEI, NIAAA, etc.):
Branch location (Bethesda, Baltimore, etc.):
Any other info you want to share:
Remember, if you are a minor you'll need to stay with an adult, so stay aware of this fact.
Congratulations on getting accepted, I hope all of you have a great summer!

BU RISE 2017 (Boston University RISE summer program)
Hi! Is there anyone that is applying/applied for Boston University's RISE program? I applied for the psychology internship and am wondering if others are also interested in the program. Also, if anyone else has had experience with the program, please share your experiences, such as the dorms, other participants, the faculty, projects, and so on (and may your stats too?) Thank you very much! : )

New Jersey Scholars Program 2017
Hello!
I couldn't find a thread for the 2017 admission pool so I decided to start one. Does anyone who has attended in the past have any feedback for those of us hoping to make it to the interview process? This can be a place for us to discuss the program, answer any questions, and meet those we hope to see again this summer!
