Is is absolutely necessary to go to a summer program?

<p>Yeah seriously, if you have the usual stats, you should be fine for college admissions. If anything, go volunteer (since you can easily rack up a good couple hundred hours) during the summer. You can work on your college apps, essays, AP stuff, or just pick up a new hobby. All of which would make you productive and help with apps. In no way do you need any summer programs.</p>

<p>Just don’t go out and get drunk…everyday! No, but really.</p>
