I participated in Summer@Brown this past summer in the 7-week program where you are enrolled in two University classes with other Brown students. I took The first semester of The Essentials of Greek Language (although our professor decided to try and squeeze both semesters into 7 weeks…so it was quite intensive) and Introduction to Human Physiology. Physio wasn’t too bad because I have a had a great background in Bio but Greek was very demandind, even with my Latin experience which ended up helping a lot. I ended up getting an A in both courses and would HIGHLY recommend this program to anyone who can sacrifice both 7 weeks of their summer and the funds. I still keep in close touch with about 5-10 of my friends there and look back on this experience as one of the best of my life.

While I was admitted to Brown RD, I only know of one other person from the 7-week program who was admitted (~100 people and I assume most if not all applied to Brown). By no means does this program give you a major leg up compared to other applicants. If anything, it would only show Brown you are committed to education and learning and that you have an interest in the school. If anyone has any questions about the Summer@Brown experience or more specifically the 7-week program feel free to ask.
