<p>So i got accepted to a prestigious summer science program (not SSP). Should I email the instructor and ask if there is anything I should do to prepare for the program like reading etc?</p>
<p>Or, will asking this make me sound a bit geeky? My aim is to just be prepared for the nanotechnology program and get an amazing letter of rec. from the instructor as well…</p>
<p>Should I email and ask the instructor or no?</p>
<p>I say email him. As long you don’t pester him you’ll be fine. You just want to be prepared for the program. It’s not like you’re asking some stupid question.</p>
<p>My sister is saying the same thing…and she just thinks this will impress my instructor and so she will give me a good rec.</p>
<p>But, I am hesitating. I am not the really geeky type of person. I dont want to give the instructor the feeling that this kid is just another over-achiever.</p>
<p>bumppppppppp</p>
<p>I did it last summer and it was helpful for me 
not sure if it’ll help for rec though</p>
