<p>Likewise, I have to wonder if son’s participation in the Intro to Engineering session as pre-college after junior year of HS helped him in admittance. He is NOT a URM, but did attend and had great scores and grades. I tend to believe that it did help–it showed interest from someone who is not a legacy or URM. I think I remember that he mentioned attending in his personal statement, as well as some of the professors he met while attending. Just something to think about!</p>
