So I know that what students do in the summer affects their college admissions, MIT has a summer activities section and all. I got accepted in this really cool program at Michigan State University, where I will get to learn about nuclear physics and even conduct experiments at the cyclotron, the particle accelerator at MSU! I think this would probably look good on my app because it is kind of a rare oppurtunity and less than 100 kids got into this program. Am I right? Also my school couldn’t fit AP Spanish into my scheduale next year so I will be self studying that, mostly just because I like being able to speak another language and I don’t want to stop learning it, I may not even take the AP test…Thoughts?

Lately, I have been getting more and more interested in art. I was wondering what you guys think about this. If I were to do a lot of drawings this summer and try to teach myself to paint, and I put a sort of portfolio together…should I submit it along with my app? Would this be helpful to my hopeful admission assuming my grades and test scores and all are up to par?

Lastly, any suggestions or thoughts about my planned summer activities? I would really like to fill it up with a bunch of cool stuff!
