hi all,
Just want to find out which is a better choice. Taking Summer class at a community college or summer class at Stanford Pre-Collegiate, Berkeley adtp type of program. Thanks in advance.

If you want to go to Stanford specifically, maybe pre-collegiate. However, I have often heard that “pay to play” programs like that can have a neutral or even negative effect on admissions. Community College is probably cheaper, can show resourcefulness, and might give you more time to volunteer or work.
Thank you Abby

You should pick what interests you the most and not for what you think colleges might prefer.
If you do take some CC courses, make sure that you do well in these courses (A’s) since they will be on your permanent college record and would have to be disclosed if you apply to any professional or graduate program.
Thank you Gumbymom !!
