Pre-College Topics Summer Programs

<p>I am applying to the SES program at SCU this summer and I was just wondering how hard it was to get in and if it is worth the time. I’ve heard that this is a good program, especially since it’s free.</p>

<p>I am an Asian girl in my sophomore year at Mission San Jose High School and I have straight A’s this year (taking Honors Algebra 2/Trig, Honors Chemistry, Honors English). Last year while taking Honors Geometry, I had a solid A first semester but a B second semester; however in all my other classes, I received As throughout the year. I took the PSAT during the winter and got a 200 on it and I got a 750 on the SAT2 Bio. My teacher recommendation for this program should be pretty good. Do you think I’ll be able to get in?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>You seem qualified. Note that the only true requirement for getting in is applying; if you don’t apply, you definitely won’t get accepted.</p>

<p>well, I applied last year as a sophomore with straight a’s except for a b in honors chem first semester, USABO semifinalist freshman year, 770 SAT bio, PSAT 210 and I was rejected… so idk.</p>

<p>I’m applying for SES this year too! Based on the website, it seems like a good program; plus, like you said, it’s free (: I think there might be a lot of competition since it’s free. Also cyberchondriac, I think the website said preference was given to juniors over sophomores, so perhaps you could apply again this year?
Good luck to all (:</p>
