<p>I think it really depends on what program you attend and/or what you take away from it. There’s a good list of prestigious programs here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/343495-summer-programs-look-good-college-applications.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/343495-summer-programs-look-good-college-applications.html</a>
Or you could just search these forums for whatever subject you’re interested in, and there will probably be a thread listing some related summer programs.</p>
