I got accepted to a group summer scholars research STEM program at a nearby college and I was wondering how it would look on college apps. I applied out of interest for science but I also wondered how it would appear to college admission officers.
Thank you. (btw, I am a sophmore in high school)
Summer research programs are great! It shows that you are committed and invested in your learning/research and have went out to find opportunities in the community to expand on that passion. Just keep in mind that not every program or extracurricular you do should be based on how you think colleges will view it, instead, do it for you. By doing something you are truly passionate in, you are more likely to be truly committed and they will be able to see that.
