I just got accepted into this summer program and Brown. I’m super excited, but really nervous. I didn’t think I would actually get into my top choice, but surprisingly I did. I’m a little uneasy because I’m from Nebraska and I’m worried everyone at the Brown location will be from that area. Will there be people from all over? And one last thing, is the program very selective? I was definitely surprised to get accepted into my first choice. Thanks:)
People will definitely come from all over, although more will from the northeast due to proximity.
My daughters did programs there. There are a number of international students, as well as from across the U.S. One daughter met a girl from Luxembourg in her class on International Finance.
It isn’t super selective. Most young people willing to give up a summer for academic work are assumed to be serious and motivated.
It is hot in Providence during the summer, but also bring a jacket. Sometimes, there will be random cool days, as well (in the 50’s). There is a beach trip, too, as I recall.
Thank you so much for all of the information! I’m glad to know about the weather also! I haven’t really visited the east coast much.
Good to know! Thank you
Can anyone else tell me more about the program?
I looked on their website and it says that approximately 2 applicants apply for every spot. They responded to me in a week, accepting me to the Cornell location. I have a feeling that I am going to be the only person from Florida at my location… I hope it’s a fun experience! Good luck!
That’s awesome! Congratulations! I have a friend from Florida. Such a nice state 
If you are accepted and you end up having a conflict the week of your program, will they let you move to another location?
I just finished my application last night! Good luck to everyone!
How do they judge admissions for this program? on the essay alone?
@oak2maple I only submitted my essay along with my weighted gpa, not even my transcript. So I’m assuming yes
I got accepted to the UCLA site today! Does anyone know what its like?
@ibanker38 Congratulations! I’m curious, when did you submit your application and did was your acceptance in the form of an email?
I just got accepted to University of Rice today! If anyone else got accepted to Rice please send a message!
@ChemistryKing7 Sorry for the late reply. I submitted my application three days before the deadline and got the email around 10 days later.
going to Brown!
That’s awesome! You’re the first person that I’ve heard from that has said they are going to Brown! I guess I will see you there
Hi~ I know I’m late to the party, but I was wondering if anyone knows anyone going to WashU? Or if anyone knows something about St. Louis or the program as a whole? I’m a bit conflicted b/c airfares from NY are pretty high.
hi all! can any of you guys give me tips for writing the essay? what are some key things that I should include? thank you!
