i’m sure it’s valuable, although there are certainly programs out there that are at least as valuable experience-wise for half the price

the way i see it, summer programs aren’t about paying to get the best professors and opportunities, but about the people you’re with, and expensive programs tend to be forced to lower their selectivity because of the price, so you may end up with a bunch of rich kids rather than a bunch of intelligent thoughtful people
that’s why my only summer options are TASP and TRASP

don’t get me wrong though, i’m sure it’s a great experience either way
