<p>Hi!
I am an accepted applicant for the 2009 Upenn summer school pre-college program. Are there any friends who also go to this program or other in Upenn? Or are there any friends who have attended this before? If you have attended before, I sincerely would like to hear some advice from you. Thank you!</p>
<p>I am deciding between this program (I have been accepted) and SAAST (also at Penn, but I have not heard back yet). I talked to someone when I visited Penn and they told me that the pre-college classes are taught by faculty and that Penn handles all the academic aspects of the program while summer discovery organizes activities etc. Which class would you take?</p>
<p>Just to contribute, I did a pre-college program at UCSB which is pretty much the same as the Penn one, and indeed the classes are handled by UCSB faculty and summer discovery organizes the activities.</p>
<p>I’m going to the pre-college program but i’m only going as a commuter</p>
<p>I’m thinking about going to the Biomedical Research Academy (got accepted) … just the cost is pretty ridiculously exorbitant… Does anyone know anything about it?</p>
<p>First,special thanks go to mikester0904, thank you for your contribution!
Since I am what you called international student, I mainly want to learn something related to the language, like classes of creative writing and study of Shakespear in which I think I can get a lot of writing and reading practices. But I also choose a lesson called technology and medicine in modern America which I am more interested in compared than others(by the way,these are the options I offered in the app letter, they have not sent the decision of class to me yet).
What do you think? or what other good classes do you recommend?Thank you!</p>
<p>Just know that many people in the class have learned AP biology, sorry~ =)</p>
<p>I hopefully (though I am doubting myself) will be going for Leadership in the Business World! <strong>Fingers Crossed</strong></p>
<p>Leadership in BZ world seems to be rather competitive~maybe just 50 students from all around the world?
Best luck, ocean_ambition! Best luck everyone!</p>
<p>I’m going to Leadership in the Business World
Anyone else?</p>
<p>Me too I got in LBW!</p>
<p>i got in the biomedical research academy, seems really interesting to me (im looking at medicine as a career) so im attending (had to get some fin aid to help with the massive price though).
anyone have any input on it?</p>
