<p>What do you think about this summer program? Do you think it will help someone in college admissions? If a student has participated in this program, do you think he or she has a chance to get into a competitive college? </p>

<p>Hellousdad,
This is an excellent program. It doesn't matter if it will help someone in college admissions- if someone you know has the opportunity to go, it means they are already talented and committed. Don't participate in this program just for college application status; do it for the experience. But if someone is selected for this program, that in and of itself probably means they have a good chance to get into a competitive college.
Do you know someone who has participated?</p>

<p>Is there any way to participate in the APEX Scholar program without being previously selected as a Jack Kent Cooke Young Scholar?</p>

<p>I know someone who has attended the program. I am just curious as they are so many kids who get rejected.</p>

I have no way to tell you as I have not much info about it.</p>

<p>Tokenadult,
As far as I know, you have to be a Jack Kent Cooke Young Scholar to participate. </p>

<p>Hellousdad,
I, too, know some participants. I'd be curious to know what your "contact" thought of the experience, if you'd be willing to share.</p>
