<p>Retter - yes, they would only see a few weeks of academic performance. I’m considering Harvard Summer School, but I might do Stanford summer school and score A’s there because I did not apply to Stanford this time around (will next time) and am VERY worried that Harvard officers will look at a year of Harvard SSP as “oh he’s desperate to get in… buy your way in… easy classes, easy profs, an A doesn’t matter… still did poorly in HS…”</p>
