<p>I’ve been looking into various programs and i stumbled upon this: [url=<a href=“http://www.scs.northwestern.edu/summernu/programs/college_bridge.cfm]College”>http://www.scs.northwestern.edu/summernu/programs/college_bridge.cfm]College</a> Bridge Program - Summer Session at Northwestern University<a href=“The%20Northwestern%20College%20Bridge%20Program”>/url</a> It seems that you can take college courses for credit…for free! But, it also specifies that it is for CHicago Public Schools, so does that mean that if I am in the suburbs, i cannot apply? Has anyone done this program before???</p>
<p>Need more info/feedback please!</p>
<p>The website spells it out pretty clearly:</p>
<p>"To be considered for the College Bridge Program, students must be rising Chicago public high school seniors with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale. Application requirements include a personal statement, a letter of recommendation from a high school counselor, and a high school transcript. Interested students should request an application from their high school’s College Bridge Program counselor. "</p>
<p>If you don’t attend a Chicago Public School (CPS school district), then you don’t qualify for the program. I am assuming your suburban school is not part of CPS – so you don’t qualify.</p>
<p>Well you said that you are in the suburbs, that gives us absolutely no information about your school.</p>
<p>If you go to a Chicago Public High School then you can go. You know if you go to a CPS High School. I don’t know. You should be able to answer that question for yourself.</p>
<p>If your question is whether your residency in the suburbs disqualifies you, then no it does not. You don’t qualify if you don’t go to a Chicago Public School. It is not based on where you live.</p>
