Camp Question

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I just have a quick question. I have been a girl scout for 10 years and currently a junior. My strongest part of my extracurrluars (or one of them) is all my community service activites, Gold/Silver/Bronze awardee, and my community leadership corridonator job position. I worked as a counselor last summer at a girl scout camp for the entire summer along with 5 years as a day camp counselor. I am thinking about going back this year. I have a very high gpa and good SAT scores. I am looking to go back to being a counselor this summer. However, I am also debating in applying to RSI, gov school, or a precollege program.</p>

<p>I am not sure which one I would like more. I did two years of JHU summer programs and really liked those.</p>

<p>I was just wondering if not doing a summer program would hurt my chances in getting into a prestigious college? I know about doing what you love, but I am still debating the choice. </p>

<p>Any advice or anything would be wonderful!!</p>

<p>My opinion is that working as a camp counselor is every bit as valid as attending a summer program. Definitely. It sounds like you have very good prospects for college!</p>

<p>If you already have two summer programs completed at JHU, do what you would enjoy. If you like going to JHU, go there. If you feel that you would rather be a counselor, do that. One year of summer instruction is not going to hurt your chances with your status already.</p>
