<p>the summer program for high school students........ how hard is it to get into it? would it help at all in the admission process if I attended the program?</p>
<p>Are you talking about the Tisch program?</p>
<p>it will definetely help if you do well in the class. Its a good program, but expensive. They always get more applicants than they can take, but if you send ur papers on time, you should be given a spot. I had a good time last summer.</p>
<p>how hard is it to get into this summer program.....?</p>
<p>as i mentioned above, if you send ur papers in on time, u will be given a spot. Summer programs are usually not that competetive to get in, no matter which college u apply. you have to be really stupid not to get in. u pay, u get in. getting in the summer program in no way guarantees u a sopt in the college, so nyu has nothing to lose. this is not an application for harvard, don't look too much into it, just apply. if u decide later that you don't want to attend, you don't have to.</p>
<p>uhm just to make this clear....... attending a summer school program in any good skool like columbia for example wouldnt really help much in college apps right? thanks in advance!</p>
<p>it will help, depending on how well you do in the course. if you get a professor recommendation, it will help you in admission. i took a summer course last summer in NYU, got the highest grade in class and got a professor recommendation for my application. i am sure it played a role in getting me into nyu. but don't go into the program thinking that if you do well in this, you will be accepted. you have to be a consistent performer to get into prestigious colleges and that is reflected on your transcript. gl</p>
<p>it does help, if you read on columbia's site whether or not attending a summer high school program helps in the undergraduate admissions process the answer was "not necessarily," meaning that in some way it does help. so far, ppl who i knew took columbia summer programs were accepted ED, and very few were deferred.</p>
<p>same for nyu</p>
<p>I was in the summer program last year and it can help a lot. Only one person from my class was rejected while two were placed in GSP. Everyone else that applied was accepted.</p>
