  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. A public page can tell you the season. The exact date, the grade rule, and the application link are the part Scout keeps for an account.

  What is different about computer science programs in California?

  On University of California campuses, undergraduate computer science is usually a major inside an engineering college, and the campuses share one application calendar. The public sample names three of those majors. It does not include selectivity, cost, or the campus application.

  How do undergraduate nursing programs differ before you compare numbers?

  Undergraduate nursing is usually a professional school inside a university, with clinical training built into the degree, not a generic major you add later. Comparing Ann Arbor, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. is a real choice of city and campus. Acceptance rates and prerequisite lists are not on the public page.

  What kinds of internships exist before college?

  Before college, "internship" covers at least three different things: a paid placement with an employer or nonprofit, a research internship inside a lab or agency, and a residential research program that is not a job. They share a winter application season more often than they share a definition. Pay, eligibility, and links stay in the account.

  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 both often take applications in the winter. The difference is the daily work, not the month.

  What can you browse before you sign up?

  Before you create an account, Scout shows 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, eligibility, and application links are not on these pages. The homepage also answers a few sample questions, then asks you to sign up.
