<p>My cousin really wants to go to Johns Hopkins and his future career is a doctor,
as his father and mother are doctors.</p>
<p>I read somewhere, maybe from Johns Hopkin's forum as below.</p>
<p>Attending sort of summer programs from Johns Hopkins has some advantage
when we apply for Johns Hopkins.</p>
<p>If it is true, even though it is not that much, does attending those programs
in a row for 2yrs have a little bit better than 1 yr attending ?</p>
<p>If you search through this forum, or the official Hopkins forum (apply.jhu.edu/forums), you’ll find an official answer from AdmissionsDaniel, but here’s the gist of it (from my memory, so it may not be 100% accurate): attending any academic summer program during high school will look good on your application because it shows interest in some specific field and dedication to learning, but it doesn’t matter whether it’s a program sponsored by Hopkins or another University or a non-profit foundation etc etc</p>
<p>“Attending sort of summer programs from Johns Hopkins has some advantage

<p>I agree with tanman that it shows that you are doing something during your summer and learning. But I don’t think that CTY will help you get into JHU. Although CTY has some point of academic merit, like most summer programs, it’s more of if you have the money. To them, it is just somewhat unfair to give advantage to some that can afford the program and went over somebody didn’t. I mean there are some families who can’t afford to send their kid there but then there are some that can. Does that mean that the kid who can has an advantage (note both students are similar in achievements academically)? No.</p>
<p>Will it hurt? no, it helps you gain some more knowledge but it won’t give a big edge on your application. There are students that go to CTY that get rejected. There are students that go to Stanford’s program that get rejected. Going to a summer program that is sponsored by the school will not give you a big edge over other, but it shows that you are still productive</p>
<p>Right - you’ll probably have a good time and learn a good bit over a summer by attending Pre-college at Hopkins, or a comparable program elsewhere, but you could also do research with a professor at a local university (either in the sciences or the humanities… yes, there is research in the humanities) or even working a summer job to help out your family, and any of it would be a “good use” of your summer</p>
<p>To add on, if you go someplace like RSI and put out a paper, it will definitely help your chances.</p>
<p>No it will help your chances! but not because its at JHU.They dont consider demonstrated interest in admissions.Also regarding what someone else above said.Actually a flaw with admission is that ECs in general require either money or time(driving especially if they cant afford their child a car)from parents…Poor kids are always disadvantaged.</p>
<p>At the same time, no admissions counselor is going to penalize someone who worked every day after school to support their family - it’s just as good as other (if not stronger than most) “extracurriculars”. What they will “penalize”, per se, is someone who had lots of free time and has nothing to show for it - no job, no extracurriculars, no research, no strong hobbies etc</p>
<p>Here is the discussion forum that *tanman *mentioned above:

<p>This thread should answer all of your questions about how the Hopkins Admissions committee will look at summer academic enrichment experiences. </p>
<p>And just to dispute one thing written here:</p>
<p>

<p>This may be true at some schools that do not review applications holistically and comprehensively, but it is absolutely not true in relation to how Hopkins reviews applications. We do not review applications in a vacuum. A student’s background is constantly considered when reviewing applications, especially if a student comes from a disadvantaged background. There is always a different level of expectations based on the access a student has to opportunities.</p>
