<p>I’m applying to summer programs at various universities for summer 2009. If anyone knows anything about these summer programs, can you just provide your opinions about whether they’re worth applying to?</p>

<li><p>Northwestern CPP- I REALLY want to go to Northwestern and I think this would really help. I’m definitely applying to this but I’m not sure how hard it is to get into. I’d probably take Organic Chem or Developmental Psych if I do this. </p></li>
<li><p>Harvard SSP- I’ve heard great things about this. Unfortunately all the good classes are 8 weeks long and I don’t want to spend 8 weeks away from home. I’m not sure how good the shorter 4 week classes are though. </p></li>
<li><p>Summer@Brown- Once again, the college credit courses are all like 7 weeks long. However, they have really good shorter classses that aren’t college credit.</p></li>
<li><p>John Hopkins Summer University- I don’t know much about this one at all. I don’t even know anything about the length of the classes. </p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks in advance! If you have any other summer program reccomendations, let me know!
Oh & if you know anything about the selectivity of these summer programs, what order would you rank them?</p>

<p>I just got into the Northwestern CPP, but I’m not sure if I’m going to go or not. It’s pretty expensive and I’d like to know if it’s really worth it first.</p>

<p>The last three are more well-known. Harvard’s is really fun I hear. So’s Brown’s. If I were you, I’d apply to those two.</p>
