Hi all,
I received today my acceptance email to the Georgetown Summer High School program and I plan to attend the one-week Medical Institute or the three-week Medical Immersion should I be lucky enough to get off the waitlist.
I created this thread as a gathering place for anyone who is attending an institute or immersion program at Georgetown during the Summer of 2016. Please post your questions here and again congratulations on your acceptances! I can’t for this summer!
Hi I’m attending the 5 week fundamental program and i think im doing international relations! Hmu if you are doing the fundamentals too :)))
I went to the medical institute last year! If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask!
My question is slightly unrelated, as I was accepted to the Law Institute, but I was just wondering if the program is worth the money? Or should I just wait until next year to attend one of the college-credit programs? Thanks, and congrats!
Lbelle43, how much unscheduled downtime is there during the day for the Medical Institute? My daughter’s application was just approved, and she is interested in that program. It’s a lot of money for a very short program, so I’m hoping that there is a lot packed into each day.
@cjjc256 if your family can afford it, then yes, but it is not worth it if money is already tight. At least, that’s what I think about the medical institute, and I assume it’s similar for the law one.
@Momtothreegirls We did a lot each day. There were labs, lectures, and trips from 9 to 9, with probably about an hour and a half for lunch and a little more than that for dinner (give or take fifteen minutes, I don’t remember exactly). After 9, we could be wherever until 11 when we had to be on our floor, and then we had to be in our rooms by midnight. Some people were overwhelmed by the amount of programming and wanted more free time, but I thought it was a pretty good balance.
Thanks, Lbelle43. I think she’s going to do it. Sounds like they do try to get a lot done in a short time period.
@RibbittFrog sorry for writing late, but I am also doing the college credit program and doing International Relations and Us Political Systems. If you dont mind, can you yell me whether you are session 1 or sessions 2. If you are session 2, we will be together!
I’m attending this program this year. How was your experience? Was this the only college credit course you take?
Hi @crystalzhaoyc ! I applied for programs this year too. Which one are you going to? How long did it take for you to get accepted? I submitted my application 3 days ago and I’m just curious. Sorry I couldn’t really answer your question!
Hi! I’m doing a one week summer program and I was wondering if the RAs were lenient. Like do people party in the dorms discreetly? Or are people very ridged? Thsnks !
