Will a summer program at a college increase your chances? And what programs should I look into?

I’m beginning to think about what programs I want to do throughout the next couple summers. My big question is: does attending a summer program at a college you intend on applying to increase your chances? I’m sure this question has been asked about 103984023 times, so sorry in advance. I’m also looking for a good program to get into my rising junior year. I really want an intensive psychology program for at least 2 weeks to make sure psychology (clinical psychology if available) is what I want to go into. I know that Brown has a 3 week clinical psychology program but I’ve heard a lot of summer programs are not selective and not worth the money (Columbia’s - which crushed me because that’s my dream school) so I really don’t want to waste money and not learn anything. Any recommended summer programs (preferably not enough for a down payment on a house haha)?
