<p>Hi. I'm a freshman and will be a rising sophomore this summer. I was thinking of applying to Ivy Scholars APPLE. I think I can get in, but I don't know if it will be too intense for me as a freshman. I'm really interested in all the topics it covers, but I don't want it to be too rigorous. Please list any opinions or past experiences, especially if you have attended APPLE of ivy scholars as a rising sophomore. Any other good summer programs/??</p>
