    As an SSP alum and future Yale student, I 100% recommend the program to anyone that’s interested in pursuing STEM research on the future. There really is nothing like it, and I still look back on my time there and miss the late nights in the lab and the early morning lectures.

    Hi @Rishab, I’m a parent of two young kids. My son is about to enter middle school. We just discovered he’s gifted. How did your parents support you throughout your journey and when did you start figuring things out on your own? I’m a 2nd gen immigrant and my parents didn’t know how to help and support me. You have amazing drive and I’m curious how your parents provided an environment where you could thrive. Did you go to public/private? Did they help discover summer programs for you? What was their involvement in your education? Thanks and amazing job on these videos!

    I went to public school. My parents played a little role in my education after about 6th grade. In 6th grade I entered a talented and gifted program at my public middle school-enabled me to learn about advanced subjects & challenge myself academically. From there, I began to discover opportunities on my own and via osmosis - from friends and role models. I discovered science fair because my elder brother had done it when he was in school (5-6 years older than me). My 6th grade science teacher also encouraged me to participate, and it was a class-wide unit to write a research paper and do an inquiry/engineering project. From science fair, I met older students who recommended summer programs (like RSI, etc.) in which I took part in. At the national level, I was meeting very high caliber students, and we shared our opportunities & advice with each other. Once I was in about 8th-9th grade, I could find and research opportunities on my own. Good luck!

    Hello Rishab. I got a question. I'm a freshman, and I kinda messed up my grade(3.2 unweighted, I did very well in STEM classes, and I was horrible at non stem classes), and am taking 1 AP exam, AP physics C mechanics. I know quite a lot of physics and math, and have applied for PROMYS, but I have to see if I get in, and I got a few ecs. Do I still have a good shot at getting to Ivies/MIT if I improve my grade significantly the next 3 years and get great extracurriculars and programs(like olympiads, and hopefully ISEF)? Uh, I'm also an international student. Sorry bout the long question, but an answer would be appreciated!

    Simons SRP is way higher in the list imo. Unlike SSP, you get to produce your very own individual research, rather than as a whole group. My friend chose them over SSP last year. This year acceptance rate is less than 5% (45 accepted/~950 applied), lower than SSP's. also, only two applicants are allowed per school, making the applicant pool even more competitive. Simons is free (the 3k is for rooming if you chose to, +$500 stipend), unlike SSP
