<p>Hi guys, I was wondering if any of you have heard or applied or attended the Cornell Summer Program, the one for high school students. I'm thinking of applying because I did the Columbia HSP this past summer and want to try something different, and besides Cornell is my number 1 school. Anyways, does anyone know of the acceptance rate and how difficult it is to get it? Selective? I'm planning on doing the Body, Mind, Health course so I wanted to see if I could get some insight! </p>
<p>P.S I didn't put this in the summer program category because many of you probably attend Cornell right now so I think you guys be a help for me!</p>
<p>Hey I did Body, Mind, and Health this past summer and I’m now a senior applying to Cornell ED. The class is not selective at all, but you get like 2-3 hours of reading per night. It’s not exactly hard, but it’s requires a lot of memorization. I personally loved it. Met a bunch of great people, and got 3 college credits too. I would recommend it if you can afford it.</p>
<p>Honestly can’t tell you the acceptance rate, but I can tell you some of the kids in my class were definitely not Cornell material. I didn’t think class was that hard. 2-3 hours of reading per night, 4-5 quizzes, 1 final paper, 1 final exam (things could vary year by year though). I got an A-</p>
<p>Btw, I also applied to the Columbia one and got in. So if you got into that program, you’ll most likely be fine for Cornell.
(I ended up not going to the Columbia one after reading some personal experiences)</p>
<p>I have heard that it doesn’t really affect your application. It sounds fun and interesting, but personally, I would prefer spending my summer traveling or doing an internship.</p>
<p>It doesn’t. They state directly on their website that it doesn’t. But it gave me a really good feel of the place and the program was basically like college. You were completely on your own. No one told you to study, no one told you to go to sleep. Most kids stayed up until like 1am ordering food every night and studying</p>
<p>I also attended the summer college at cornell. Im not sure it will help but I have a 4.3 gpa at cornell and they stress that these are real grades that will count at cornell if you attend so it surely will not hurt. It also helped me make cornell my top choice. Is short the reason to go is to explore the college and or possible major not to improve your chance for acceptance. Good luck</p>
<p>@ceresma how was your experience ? I’m nervous because Cornell is my top choice and I want to try the summer program. However, I’m nervous whether or not I’ll be accepted because I did the Columbia one and loved it. I think the Cornell Program however is a little more rigorous than the Columbia one. AHHHHHHH so nervewrecking</p>
<p>Body, Mind, and Health was probably the hardest class at Cornell Summer College. Why don’t you just apply and see? That’s what applying to college is about anyways</p>
<p>Tennis, I had a great experience, I did the pre-vet program. I’m really glad I went it really helped me decide on Cornell and veterinary medicine. Go for it!</p>
<p>How selective is it to actually get into a literature or humanities program? I am currently a freshman and didn’t do well on my SAT. I got a 1620 on it. It sucked, I know. I have a 4.083 GPA in school and can probably have a pretty good letter of recommendation. Should I even try applying at all?</p>
<p>I would suggest getting at the very least a 650+ in math and cr and being at least in the top 10% of your class before attempting if you are unhooked</p>
