How easy is it to get into the Girls Who Code summer immersion program?

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs

I applied just now, nervous because I live in a very academically competitive area. Is it unreasonable to start planning my summer around this? I’ve done robotics and girl scoyts for a while, think my writing thing was pretty good (not like this lol), don’t remember if they asked for GPA etc but its close to 3.95. Currently a sophomore, haven’t taken APCS or any formal CS.

Should I apply to a backup?

Thanks friends :slight_smile:

Always apply to a backup. Just know that you’re not only competing with the peers in your area but also students across the nation – my GWC class had several out-of-staters. As for the difficulty of getting in, they seem to weigh essays, URM, and passion over grades. Not having taken any CS is also a big advantage. Good luck!
