CMU SAMS vs Stanford Summer College

Hi! so i’m a junior in high school and got accepted to
CMU SAMS (free)
Stanford Summer College (expensive, but it’s for 2 months so it’s pretty cheap for the bay area)

I also want to major in compsci in college so the quality of their compsci class matters to me a lot.
stanford is definitely one of the college at the top of my list but i’ve heard that the summer college
isn’t really helpful. honestly, i’m leaning towards the stanford one because i want to take classes
where i learn more about compsci
but i’m wondering:
which is more beneficial in terms of college apps?
which one do you benefit more out of (such as gaining knowledge)?
which one has a better overall experience?

and i really want to know which one has a better program regardless of how “prestigious” they are,
because i really want to expand my knowledge on compsci!

thank you!

Definitely the free one. It is much more impressive that you got accepted into a free program than it is that your parents can afford to send you to one. CMU is a very presitgious compsci school.
