My mom is convinced that attending Summer@Brown (or some other similar summer program) will help my resume come application time (I'm a current junior so I'll be applying fall of this year), but I really don't think it will... Almost everyone who has satisfactory grades and can pay gets admitted so how would that help my resume? I would love to go to one of these programs for the experience and learning environment but I think my summer before senior year would be better spent doing other things. I wish i had gone to one of these programs last summer, but it's too late for that now.
So basically my question is, is spending maybe 5 weeks of the summer before senior year (and I'm hoping to start applications in early August) at a pre college summer program worth it? Will it really add anything to my application?
