申请美国本科必须知道的27个夏令营

十年级以后要参加有竞争力的夏令营(Summer Camps)，或者说是录取率低于50％的。申请这类camps其实就是申请大学的预演, 被录取代表了孩子具有显著的Academic Distinctions，这是大学申请Common Application表上要求填写的一个主要项目。同时，许多强竞争力的夏令营的录取率可能比申请Harvard的录取率还低，一直优秀的所向披靡的孩 子也许也会遇到人生的第一次被拒绝，这是很好的挫折教育素材。

文科(包括Leadership/Speech & Debate)除了TASP以外几乎很少有竞争力高的，有兴趣有爱好想锻炼身体培养情操的也可自己去这里搜索for a fun：Chooseacamp or SummerCamps。

看一个夏令营的好坏除了内容之外还可以看两点：费用和录取率。免费的录取率10％以下的最好也最难被录取。那些许多得Intel/Siemens和其它科 学大奖的学生，大都展示的是参加了这些强竞争力的Research programs后的成果。比方说，10个2011年Siemens竞赛的regional finalists和31个semifinalists 来自于Stony Brook University的Garcia/Simons夏令营。

要早做准备，program越好，申请截止日期越早。

这里精选了有较强学术竞争力的夏令营列表，同时提供2011年的一些数据，包括参加学生人数，录取率，学费或津贴，食宿，持续时间等。仅供参考。

让牛娃飞一会儿。。。推荐一个黄金组合：

9年级结束参加COSMOS；10年级参加SSP类似的10－20％acceptance rate的programs；11年级末飞奔RSI级别的with less than 10% acceptance rate的顶级research。。。12年级Intel STS/Siemens。
