<p>I'm going to apply to this program for the summer of 2010. Has anyone taken it before? I LOVE Cornell (it is my dream school) and I'm also extremely interested in business which is why I picked this program. However, I don't know anyone who has taken it so some feedback would be nice about difficulty of the program, selectivity of the program, and overall feelings about it. </p>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>I took the business world last summer - it was a great experience. Professor Taylor was awesome, but my TA was bad. In 3 weeks I learned alot about business, wrote 1 individual paper and 1 team paper, gave a group presentation, and took the final. It wasn’t too hard to get a good grade on the papers and presentation, but the final exam was a little hard. The final counts for half your overall grade, so make sure you study the textbook.
I made some great friends - I’m actually meeting 2 of them in the city later today.
And I got into Cornell early decision… I’m sure summer college helped me get in.
It’s not too hard to get into summer college - much less competitive than applying to be an undergrad - you should definitely do it.</p>
<p>What does the grade you get count for though? I want to do the program cuz 1)I’m interested in business 2)I love cornell and want to see what’s its like to spend a lot of time there so I didn’t really look into how my results would effect me (cuz I’m planning on trying hard anyway). Congratz on your acceptance! My stats aren’t as impressive as yours lol. </p>
<p>Thanks btw.</p>
<p>I dont want o hijack this thread, but does anyone do this program as a cornell acceptee?</p>
<p>cornell has a special summer thing for accepted prefrosh that they will tell you about, its basically invite only, and it isnt that big of a deal. Acceptees dont do summer college though. Also, the program does not increase your chances, it is designed more as a way to market the college to prefrosh.</p>
<p>Thanks cookiemonster
Cornell and the other schools you apply to will look at your grade and probably count it in your gpa (it definitely will if u go to Cornell) it should help you though, almost definitely won’t hurt
there were a few incoming college freshmen but most were hs seniors</p>
<p>thats cool. thank you</p>
