<p>One section asks:</p>
<p>Optional: If you have done any research or independent study outside of school, please include an abstract or summary of your work.</p>
<p>This does not include summer programs, does it?</p>
<p>i would say that it doesnt, unless it was independent study, but it seems like saying something about it can only help, not hurt</p>
<p>if you did research or independent study during that summer...</p>
