Does International Summer School For Young Physicists boost top college chances?

<p>Trying to draw an analogy to RSI/SSP etc. here. Please reply with respect to both American and Canadian universities. Also state the financial aid scenario in Canadian universities for international students if possible.</p>

<p>About the program-
The International Summer School for Young Physicists</p>

<p>The ISSYP is an exciting and challenging two-week program for Canadian and international high school students with a keen interest in theoretical physics and who intend to pursue a degree in physics at the university level.</p>

<p>This summer school super-charges potential "Einsteins" with:</p>

<pre><code>*
Presentations by Perimeter Institute researchers on cutting edge theoretical physics – hot topics such as superstring theory, quantum computing and dark matter.
*
Opportunities to work with leading international theoretical physicists in small group mentoring sessions.
*
Lab tours and other activities with like-minded students from around the globe.
*
Insights into their own potential as possible future researchers in theoretical physics.
