Don't disregard SSP

I count 6 schools on my list In retrospect, I wish I had applied for SSP, but I looked at its price tag and thought, nahh. I think a certain verse from the MIT Marching Band song regarding Princeton, Wellesly, Yale, Vassar, and Harvard is appropriate here, although not to post :D

I think more credit is given to RSI and SHARP on the basis that they are more selective (or were, SHARP no longer exists), although that says nothing about the quality of SSP. However, RSI recommendations have legendary sway with admissions officers, no? All RSI '04ers who applied to Caltech got in with full rides, according to staticsoliloquy.

But just the fact that you guys have such programs is good I have Concert Band Camp at UMass Lowell, which was such a blast this summer, but not what MIT’s particularly interested in.
