夏令營

MIT推薦的有較強競爭力的 十年級以後一定要參加有競爭力的夏令營，或者說是錄取率低於40％的。申請這類camps其實就是申請大學的預演, 被錄取代表了孩子具有顯著的 ACADEMIC distinctions。文科除了TASP以外幾乎很少有競爭力高的，有興趣有愛好想鍛煉身體培養情操的也可自己搜索for a fun：Chooseacamp or SummerCamps 看一個camp的好壞主要看兩點：費用和錄取率。免費的錄取率10％以下的最好也最難進。那些許多得大獎的都是參加了這些Research programs後的成果展示。 要早做準備，program越好，申請截止日期越早。 Here is a list of some terrific summer programs for high school juniors to consider.
