<p>Summer seminar doesn’t make or break the deal. It’s just another activity, and there are others that can fill in that void. I didn’t go, and I’m on board as one of the incoming cadets of 2011. I instead attended another leadership conference (on which I had a blast). My suggestion is go do something you want to do this summer- something interesting that plays to your strengths; you will probably have loads of fun in the process. Besides, I hear the t-shirts they give you are too big for most people anyway :)</p>
