When do high school students apply to summer research?
Most selective summer research programs for high school students open applications in the fall and close in the winter, long before the summer they happen. If you start looking in the spring, you are often looking at programs that have already closed. The exact day changes every year, so this page names the season and points you to each program's own page.
What is different about computer science programs in California?
On University of California campuses, undergraduate computing is often a major inside an engineering college, and the campuses share one application. The degree is not always named computer science. Berkeley's sample major is electrical engineering and computer sciences. UCLA's is computer science. UC San Diego's is computer science and engineering. The public sample names those three. It does not include selectivity, cost, or a deadline.
How do undergraduate nursing programs differ before you compare numbers?
Undergraduate nursing is usually a bachelor's degree taught by a school of nursing, with clinical training built into the degree, not a generic major you add later at every university. Some schools admit students directly to nursing. Others start with a pre-nursing path and a later application. Comparing Ann Arbor, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. is a real choice of school and city. Acceptance rates, costs, and prerequisite lists are not on this page.
What kinds of internships exist before college?
Yes. Experience before college exists, and the word internship covers at least three different things: a paid placement with an employer or nonprofit, a research internship in a lab or agency, and a residential research program that is not a job. They do not share one definition of who can apply. Pay, cities, and application links stay on each program's own page.
How is a summer program different from an internship?
A summer program is a structured stretch of classes or research that a school or nonprofit runs for students. An internship is a role inside an organization, closer to a job. Both can happen in the summer, and selective ones often take applications the fall or winter before. The difference is the daily work, not the month on the calendar.
What can you browse before you sign up?
Before you create an account, you can read the guides and open a small public sample: the name of a college, program, or opportunity, where it is, what type it is, and the season applications usually fall in. Costs, test ranges, who can apply, and application links are not on these pages. The homepage preview suggests a direction. It does not search the full catalog.
