<p>I am a Canadian high school student and want to apply for a US college after graduation. I received an invitation from for <a href=“mailto:Summer@Brown”>Summer@Brown</a>. Would it be a good experience?Would the experience benefit for future application?</p>
<p>Most likely to the first question. Not at all to the second.</p>
<p>“Demonstrated interest,” is something that some institutions take into consideration when reviewing apps and others do not(I’m not really sure about Brown). However, having the “Summer@Brown,” experience on your EC/activities portions of your commonapp could help show adcoms that you’ve done work/activities on a university level and an “experienced,” student is always preferable to one that isn’t(provided all other stats/hooks are equal).</p>
<p>I say go, you’ll probably be a better student for the experience. My D spent 2 summers at Carnegie Mellon and it made her a fantastic student.</p>
