Hello! My daughter applied to Miami University (OH) Summer Scholars Program. She completed her part of the application in March. Her college counselor, however, did not send the transcript until a month later. My daughter’s application was thus complete on April 27.
The inconvenience is that she had registered for Indiana University’s High School Journalism Institure (HSJI) about 2 weeks ago. At that time, we were about to give up on Miami and were thinking of an alternate. We decided to register for HSJI so that she would have a summer program backup. She thought the HSJI Advanced Social Media sounds cool, so we signed up. The program is July 15-19, so only 5 days. She likes social media and design, but not the writing part when it comes to journalism.
Last Thursday evening, we finally found out that my D got in to Miami Summer Scholars. I was screaming for joy. She applied for the Busniness module for Session II (July 15-27). I am now convincing her to go to Miami SS b/c she wants to study marketing in college. (I went to the old Junior Scholars Program at Miami Univ between jr and sr year in HS, so some bias here.) Especially after all that time and trouble with the application and countless emails to her counselor to send that transcript.
Would you vote for Miami SS or IU HSJI?
I assume your daughter already decided by now, but I’m curious as to which program she decided to attend! I’ll be at Miami’s program for the second session, so it would be super cool to meet her!
