<p>When I went to the Summer College in 2005 (duh), a lottt of the RCAs were hinting that going to SC improved your chances of getting into Cornell. They talked about how it showed a little extra interest in and committment to the school. </p>
<p>And I figure the question has been asked a lot-- does attending a college's summer program help your chances?</p>
<p>For me and Cornell, the answer was no. I was waitlisted at CAS, and they're not going to the waitlist. So, in effect, it was a rejection. </p>
<p>From my personal experience, attending SC 2005 didn't help me get into Cornell. But that wasn't the reason I went, so I'm not sitting here disappointed.</p>
<p>If you want more details (stats, whatever), just ask. </p>
<p>lol you want this to be one of those main topics that is a sticky don't you? </p>
<p>Ok I do think it helps. I got a ton of money from the place that I took a summer course and did extremely well in (Although it was on the safety/fit side of things). It also shows other colleges that u can excel in a college environment. Lastly, it shows that college that you mean business when it comes to going there and ur not one of those people who write "___ is my #1" in an essay but really just change the "___" depending on which school u are applying to.</p>
<p>Well you could be wrong karylis. Your stats/character/appearance (on paper) could have been so horrendous as to eliminate any possible benefit conferred upon you by attending the summer program.</p>
<p>I agree Figgy, that it may help for a more safety/match type of school, but Cornell is usually something of a reach for anyone.</p>
<p>bongoboy- well, I don't like to think I looked horrendous :) I would have pretty low self-esteem to think that. I just wanted to share my personal experience and see if anybody else who went to CSC wanted to mention theirs.</p>
