Clark Scholars Program vs SSP
I have been accepted to both the Clark Scholars Program at Texas Tech University and SSP. This is what I’m considering right now:
Clark Pros:
• 1-on-1 mentorship
• Independent research project that can be used for competitions like Regeneron
• Lower acceptance rate only admit 12 (~1%) vs SSP 180(~ 10%)
• Free and even $750 stipend
SSP Pros:
• Established high rate of acceptance to HYPSM (~50%), MIT in particular
SSP Pros:
• $ 6,950 program fee
