Cornell Summer College?

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>I have a number of goals for the upcoming summer. If I could get feedback as to whether or not attending CSC would help me attain these goals, that would be a tremendous help. </p>

<ol>
<li><p>I need to show colleges that I'm back in action! I fell seriously ill my junior year of high school and I'm repeating, albeit with a shortened schedule (4 classes a day - all APs). On top of a number of publications I'm working on, I want to do something rigorous, so that I may prove the extent to which I have recovered. </p></li>
<li><p>I want to truly learn. I'm not the type of person who just does something for transcript padding. It must be in an intellectually stimulating atmosphere. Does CSC provide this?</p></li>
<li><p>What, if any, benefit will attending CSC offer my early decision chances at Cornell?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you. I'd appreciate a few responses.</p>

<li>from what i’ve heard, csc is pretty rigorous, and you can earn college credit. this is more than most other courses can offer. </li>
<li>honestly, it probably won’t affect your chances. i don’t think colleges care whether you go to their summer program, but they do like it when you go to a summer program. </li>
</ol>

<p>i’m going there this summer for philosophy and cognitive science. did you end up applying?</p>
