<p>Has anyone here ever attended the Harvard Summer School Program? I’m interested in the secondary school program at Harvard over summer. It says it’s intended for students who have completed 9th grade, 10th grade, 11th grade, or 12th grade. I want to take a mathematics or chemistry course over the summer at Harvard.</p>

<p>How hard are admissions to this summer school? Will the PSAT be required? What score is “needed”? Is the app like a college app ( Listing EC’s, SAT scores, GPA, Courses taken, essay)?</p>

<p>Hey I’m. I know a little of ssp. My good friend attended this summer. He thinks it was the best time of his life . Although it’s basically a party. Many ppl got in trouble and had had to talk with deans etc. There have been ppl this year that have been expelled for drinking. IMO ssp is bad. It’s more of a business. Admissions is a joke like 60% get in. It won’t help you at all for addmissions at harvard. In fact, ppl have a lower chance of getting in to harvard if they attend ssp. Because of behavior. IMO don’t do it look for. A summer program that you don’t have to pay for to get in like tasp or RSI</p>
