How much do High School university coursesc ount toward acceptance?

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>I'm a Junior right now, from Brazil, and for the next summer, my parents are half oblidging me to take up a summer school at a university, i.e Columbia's High School program, which doesn't give any college credit. However, last summer I went to a camp called Culver (not extremely well known) which is a military-esque camp in Indiana, which according to them, doesn't count towards Uni acceptance, but teaches a lot about leadership, discipline, etc. and I wanted to go there again this year. My argument is that going to summer school isn't going to be as helpful in general as going back to Culver. Does anyone have anything to back this up?</p>

<p>Many Thanks, Alex</p>
