Help needed with Summer Programs

[082349]

<p>

As I could see from previous posts, some of the programs I’ve listed are selective, such as Harvard and Yale… I guess that the most important thing regarding those summer schools is that you’ll be demonstrating that you’re not all about summer (in my case winter vacations ) partying and relaxing… I guess it’s also valuable for making contacts (some teachers write rec letters for good stud) and enhancing your “Why X University” Essay…

TBH, the programs you listed aren’t that selective. Colleges use them to make money. See <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/538843-finally-truth-about-columbia-university-high-school-program.html?highlight=truth+columbia[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/538843-finally-truth-about-columbia-university-high-school-program.html?highlight=truth+columbia&lt;/a&gt;

And, yes, being intl sometimes suck… Any of those programs offer financial aid for intl people…

Totally agree. I’m an international too. TASP is free I think.</p>
