I’ve heard of it, but only because I did an extensive search on Cogito, and then I ended up emailing the lady only to end up deciding that my parents weren’t going to let me go out of the country. However, I agree it does look very interesting and exciting, and I do trust the program, as I trust Cogito and like that Facebook trust thing… yeah.

PLEASE don’t apply to programs so they factor into college admissions. Prestige of a summer camp is not a big factor in college admissions. Sure there is a high correlation between participation in some programs and college admissions, but any good statistician and any summer camp-er will tell you that that is likely correlation, not causation, and that the experience is really what helps you out.
