<p>I’m going to be a Junior is September 2007. I’m starting to apply to summer programs in a few months, and I just wanted to know if I have a good list. How competitive are these programs? My top two choices are asterisked.</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon Music *
NYU Tisch-CAP 21 *
Harvard-4 weeks
Columbia-4 weeks
Georgetown-6 weeks
University of Pennsylvania-6 weeks (I’ll probably take courses)</p>

<p>TASP, especially since you seem interested in the arts. I think at least two of this year’s TASPs are art related.</p>

<p>TASP is not an option – the OP is a sophomore this year, so TASP is something they could do the following summer.</p>

<p>What are your interests as far as summer programs? What is your budget (they can get expensive)? Any limits on location or time?</p>

<p>My interest…I want to do something in singing. If I don’t get into that, I want to take college courses. I don’t want to a minicourse or Explo type program. I want credit. No limit on money, 6 week time limit.</p>

<p>have you considered Interlochen? <a href=“http://www.interlochen.org/camp/[/url]”>http://www.interlochen.org/camp/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I don’t know much about opportunities for singing – but if you enjoy musical theatre, i know that there are a number of parents and students that have discussed opportunities before. You might get good responses if you ask for help at the Musicall Theatre sub-forum <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/forumdisplay.php?f=501[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/forumdisplay.php?f=501&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>This thread actually wasn’t to look for programs in the first place though. I just wanted information on the programs I’m applying to from people who’ve been there, and also information on how competitive the respective programs are.</p>

<p>omg go to columbia. It was SO much fun. I had a friend who took the art history & film class and she loved it. I took advanced creative writing and it’s the best class I’ve ever taken. I went the summer after sophomore year. I’m a junior now.</p>

<p>That’s the summer I’ll be going! I’m definitely looking at Columbia, but I’ll see where I get in.</p>
