<p>So what’s the point of spending 8k? Just to say I’ve been there! You could take the same courses at a local community college for a fraction of the cost. You would think that H would take the opportunity to be somewhat selective for SSP, get to know the student while at the summer session, then at the end of the session have the student fill out a questionaire to ascertain their continued interest. If the student did well in the courses taken, and expressed a continued interest in matriculation, the adcoms life sure would get easier. Just my two cents worth.</p>
