About those Summer Challenge Courses

<p>I've been to the Duke TIP program twice...</p>

<p>and my family and I are debating whether it is worth the money to go to this Boston University Summer Course thingy...</p>

<p>its the usual: 3,000 bucks, 2 weeks, etc etc. </p>

<p>But the reason i really want to go is because: </p>

<p>1) I had some of the best times of my life at Duke TIP..so why not give BU a try?
2) The course is offering the very same sessions i want to go into: Business and Advertising
3) Will it look insignificant, decent, good, great, awesome in my college apps?</p>

<p>help me out please, its really hard to decide and I would like some input! </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>If you are truly interested in the field and can afford it, why not give it a try? It<code>ll give you a chance to visit the campus, perhaps schedule an interview and what not if you dont live close to the area.
I</code>m sure it will atleast look decent in your app. If you have the stats (numbers+ECs) then that will give you atleast some leg up but dont count on it. </p>

<p>Bottom line- if you<code>re interested in the program and have the money to go, then go. But don</code>t go based solely on the reason that it will look good on your app. Go for the experience. Otherwise, your summer is better spent doing work/volunteering, etc.</p>

<p>I don't think it's that prestigious, but it sounds like a fun program (im going). So if you like that type of thing and you can afford it, why not try it?</p>
