[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do UMD researchers take non-Blair/PHS students too, or is this more magnet privilege to segregate students? [/quote]

Why wouldn't they?  The magnet might act as a hook but they are many other types of hooks a kid can have.[/quote]

I don't know why. Things don't happen unless people do them. SMCS has relationships with institutions.

Have non-SMCS schools provided information to students about summer research internship opportunities? [/quote]

I think what PP meant is RSI program or something similar. There are several these types of program that are free, but harder than getting accepted by Harvard or MIT. RSI can be considered satisfying the R&A course credit, but I doubt if those few prestigious math camp can satisfy the requirements (again, extremely hard to get accepted, so if accepted, kids should definitely choose those over an internship).

Sorry if this question is too naive, but what are those prestigious math camps that are extremely hard to get accepted?[/quote]

I don't think this linked camp is among those most prestigious ones. 
The most competitive ones include Canada/USA math camp (mostly for MOPPERS), PROMYS, SUMaC, and Ross math program. They are not cheap, but they not the "cash-cow" programs but really selective and highly-regarded camps. They all offer financial aid if needed. Some camps do offer research mentorship for math topics.[/quote]

Hampshire is absolutely top tier. It's on every list and its also one the oldest, maybe the oldest one still running.
