<p>Is anyone here going to the Southwest High School Scholars Program at Colorado College this summer??</p>
<p>woah. so i just googled it and it sounds like an AMAZING opportunity!</p>
<p>I applied for it this year!
Did you go last year? If you did, how was it?</p>
<p>We live a block away from CC -- you will love it. The campus and surrounding area are great, the kids who attend are great (smart, engaged and kind of wacky in a good way).</p>
<p>Yes, I went last summer. It was such an amazing 3 weeks! And practically free since they pay for your food and airplane ticket and everything. About 30 people come for each block (only a few are Southwest Scholars but there's really no distinction) and you all live in the same dorm. They have a lot of planned activities for you around the area and on campus. You get a feel for college and if you're thinking about applying to CC, you find out if the block plan is right for you. If not (like me), it's still an awesome experience and you get to meet people from all over the country. Definitely go!!</p>
<p>Thank you so much for the info. I'm really looking forward to it.</p>
<p>By CC's description, this program looks so amazing. What class did you take last year? I'm planning on taking Covering Politics.. If I get accepted.</p>
<p>But I feel like I wrote an awful essay; at first, I felt I wrote the best essay ever but then after a month when I re-read it, I thought it was horrible. How many scholars do they accept?</p>
