FAQ
Common questions

Which programs actually matter to admissions?

RSI, SSP, Telluride, Research Science Institute, and a handful of others carry genuine weight. Many 'prestigious' programs are pay-to-play and add little value.

When should I apply?

Most elite programs open applications in November–January for the following summer. Start planning at least 6 months early.

What if I don't get into the top programs?

We build a balanced list. There are genuinely strong programs at multiple tiers — getting the right experience matters more than the brand name.

Do you help with paid programs too?

We focus on selective programs where admission is based on merit, not tuition. Those carry far more weight.

Is this right for you?
Get Started

I got into RSI after two failed attempts. The third time, we completely rebuilt my application from the ground up.
