<p>title says it all. Just curious</p>
<p>I went to SSP last year. I loved it, and although I was planning to apply ED to Penn (legacy, I'm fairly certain I'd have got in, not as sure about RD) I applied EASC to Harvard instead and got deferred. I'm already regretting it, if I get rejected from both schools it's going to have to have been one of the more stupid decisions that I've made.</p>
<p>yeah, SSP turned out to be a real disappointment for a lot of the people i knew there who wanted to used their attendance as leverage to get in. Only 1 person i know got in and he was my classmate (we were in s-111; the class from hell) Whether it helps really depends on the classes you take there i think.</p>
<p>One of my roommates got in, and I know a few other from my dorm who did as well. They would have gotten in anyway though. For any other school, a summer experience would indicate serious, demonstrated interest in the college... Harvard doesn't care about that. With the Harvard name and the yield rate it creates, they can take whoever they want with no regard to their interest in the school. </p>
<p>I had a great experience there and I don't think there's any other college that could compare to Harvard (sorry Penn) so I don't regret going. I just should have been more strategic with my early app.</p>
<p>There's always Harvard Medical School in 4 more years if I don't get in undergrad...</p>
<p>I beg to differ man... sorry but i think that harvard has the worst college experience of them all. Forget wiedener library for two minutes and what dyou have left? The architecture is nothing special like cambridge, yale or princeton and it has to rework a lot of its infrastructure. You can't even minor at Harvard in anything. Even my professor warned me to reconsider doing undergrad there because NO ONE GIVES A **** ABOUT THE UNDERGRADS AT A RESEARCH UNIV. OF THAT CALIBRE. If you get in anywhere else and harvard i'd suggest you reconsider. Not trying to bash anything, trying to help you out.</p>
