<p>I would say that the Summer College has negligible impact. Yes, it’s great that you’re taking classes at Cornell and that you’re on the campus, but it won’t help you in admissions. What may help, however, is if you forge great relationships with professors and get a recommendation from one of them that makes you stand out in the applicant pool. By simply attending Summer College, you won’t stand out from the next person with equal qualifications who didn’t attend the Summer College.</p>
