<p>lol does PAVE provide any financial aids? I didn't find any info online....
it looks like a very nice program, but its wayyyyyyyy 2 expensive ==</p>
<p>I'm not sure but if you call the office I'm sure they could give you information. I was just accepted into the program but I still haven't made up my mind entirely. I have a week to send in my deposit. Can anyone who has gone provide some insight into their experience at PAVE? 6 weeks seems very long.</p>
<p>They DO give financial aid. Just write a letter telling them that you need it and you'll get some.</p>
<p>PAVE is awesome! Every weekend you can do some kind of activity such as canoeing, white-water rafting, laser tag, paintballing, etc. And movies are every Friday (if you want to go, you don't have to go).</p>
<p>Though, the work is pretty annoying. In the morning you have a vector calculus/engineering class followed by a science class then followed by a computer programming class. If you don't like engineering (I don't) then it's going to be a little boring/frustrating. But I love science so the science classes made it worth it.</p>
<p>In the afternoon you have another math class to reinforce what you learned earlier. Doc V and Mazita (your amazing math teacher) proctor. And then you have a 45 minute break and then you have computer class for you to do the assignment that was given in the earlier class. After 3 or 4 pm you're done for the day. So you can hang out with your friends in the gym, in the pretty grass on alumni lawn, in the Vandy/Barnard dorms, wherever. You're given a ton of freedom. It's great.</p>
<p>And don't worry about finding friends who are like you. Personally, I sway to the nerdy side so I was able to find people like me. The majority of people there, though, are normal/preppy. So if that's you, then you win. </p>
<p>One caveat: a decent amount of girls/guys are just there to hook up and kind of screw around to have a fun summer. You'll find that group when you get there. They don't go to class and don't really care about school work. You just ignore them. I did all the work and I still had the best summer of my life!</p>
<p>lol sounds cool
alright im applying!!!
but do I just write a letter? why don't they put it as a part of the application?</p>
<p>Yeah, just write a letter saying why you want to attend. I took the humour approach and it worked (though I don't think the letter is that important). =]</p>
<p>Again, also write a letter stating you need financial aid!</p>
<p>I just sent in my deposit! Post here if you're going this summer as well :)</p>
<p>lol Im applying to PAVE, CMU SAMS and probably summer@brown
just wanna get in any one of them XD</p>
<p>From what I've read, it seems that everyone who applies to PAVE gets accepted so I wouldn't worry about getting in.</p>
<p>i might be going to pave</p>
<p>It's going to be the best summer of your life.</p>
<p>i have heard that alot. i also have a question though, my grades arent exactly enough to get into vanderbilt. so would doing pave help? thanks.</p>
<p>I'll tell you that come April.</p>
