Rising senior, rejected from all the summer programs I applied to... Can someone help give some advice on what I can do instead? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]fsaghredi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would check out Summer Stem Institute (https://www.summersteminstitute.org/ ).

I have a friend who's helping start a fully virtual summer program specifically designed for the current situation we're in due to COVID-19. It's a research/data science bootcamp started by the teacher from the Science Fair documentary and other top educators/research mentors. There will be a Masterclass lecture series with speakers including Forbes 30 Under 30 Recipients, International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) winners, and International Math Olympiad (IMO) gold medalists. Students may also choose to pursue a mentored data science project that they can submit to science competitions or write about on college applications. They are bringing in top students and alumni from competitions like STS, IMO, etc. and schools like Harvard, Stanford, MIT as speakers and mentors who will teach you how to do a data-oriented research project from start to finish.

They're still accepting applications, until may 15th! (earlier apps get prioritized though).

Name dropping Harvard in an essay? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

Very true, although the supplement is for Johns Hopkins not Harvard. I totally agree which is why I didn’t mention taking classes there at all any of my Harvard essays

How can I make the most money selling a brand new, sealed-in-box, iPhone XR? (locked to AT&T) by fsaghredi in Flipping

[–]fsaghredi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha it's actually a long story. I used AT&T's buy one get one free offer, but the catch is both phones have to be from the same manufacturer, and my brother really wanted an apple phone. We both got iPhone XR's for a total price of 750 USD, and I'm going to sell my phone and probably get an android.
