MIT ESP's Junction program is a <b>non-residential</b> academic summer experience for advanced high school students who want to explore a subject in depth. Classes are challenging, exciting, and experimental; usually a step beyond what's available in typical high school curricula.

Two hours of each evening are dedicated to taking one core class (see examples below). In addition, after dinner Junction students choose  from a small selection of single- or multi-session seminar classes in a wide range of topics, both academic and just-for-fun. Seminar classes vary day-to-day and are like a [Splash](http://esp.mit.edu/learn/Splash/index.html), spread out over the course of the summer. <br />

Teachers are primarily MIT undergraduate and graduate students.

# Applying for Junction
Students apply for the specific core classes they are interested in taking at Junction. We use the applications to learn about students' backgrounds and their interest in the classes, and to let teachers assess whether students seem adequately prepared.  Financial aid is available and generously awarded through a 100% need-based process. Financial aid and admissions decisions are made by separate committees, so admission to Junction is need-blind. 
<br/><br/>
The application consists of free-response questions. We do not ask for grades, test scores or teacher recommendations. <b>Go to the [application info](http://esp.mit.edu/learn/Junction/application.html) page to find out more about our application process.</b>
