I'm thinking about local programs that I know of that are equitable in their selection, rigorous, and prestigious for high school research positions. The GMU summer one (forget the name), JHU APL, or even small things at MD or Georgetown. Yes, there are some remote opportunities but not all and they're not preferred. So if a poor kid gets selected, HOW of they get there? Their car? Mom's car? Dad's car? Any car? No? Also are they paid? So, when can they go make money to pay for college, or help with rent? Yeah, I don't think they meant dumber. I think they were talking about real systemic disadvantages.

Some posters on this board refuse to put themselves in other people’s schools. Very smart low income kids still have huge hurdles to climb to be able to participate in these research, internship, programs. Smart females sometimes even have to fight their own parents to achieve their dreams. The playing field is not equal. [/quote]

Just ignore the MAGA a-holes. They think their kids are entitled to everything.
