<p>SuMAC is competitive, EPGY is like 40-60% acceptance and so is harvard SSP. Columbia summer school ranks even lower.

<p>Again, these are good programs and yes, not everyone gets in…but acceptance rate is still high…and if you don’t get FinAid (which is limited), it may not be worth to spend the money. In the OPs case, I think internship would be far more valuable.</p>
