<p>I did it last summer, it was so much fun! love diman house.
Anyway, I think it depends on whether you did a pre-college programme or a full 7-week for-credit actual Brown course… I did a 2-week pre-college one that was pass/fail and I can’t imagine it will help much. It was taught by a grad student and impossible to fail, so long as you showed up to the classes and handed in your assignments. Doing something like that does show some intellectual curiousity, which colleges like. But it doesn’t show you’re capable of Brown work in the way a for-credit course would.
That said, I got a great recommendation from my teacher which I think will help.
I’d recommend doing it this summer, I had a great time. I feel I should warn you that goodlooking girls outnumber goodlooking guys by 10 to 1. Not exaggerating.</p>
