The e-mail doesn’t mean anything. They just bought a few thousand names from Collegeboard, e.g. juniors and younger living overseas with SAT scores above 2100, and sent a mass e-mail to those. If you apply, no one will care that you got that e-mail.

I am sure Stanford’s summer program is fun if you can afford it. Personally, I wouldn’t have the money to go. Participating will NOT increase your chances of getting into Stanford or another top university. Go for the intellectual challenge if you like, but don’t expect if to pay off in some other way.
