<p>Sounds like CSLC with upgrades. Will it be useful (educationally and apropos admissions) or should I keep my money?</p>
<p>If I should keep my money, are there any programs that you would recommend?</p>
<p>EPGY has an excellent reputation -- much more so than CSLC.</p>
<p>alot depends on who you are and what you want -- what grade are you in and what are you looking for in a program? </p>
<p>keep in mind that summer programs do not usually help with admissions -- what does help is that you spent your summer constructively, a program may give you an opportunity to try some thing new or go more in-depth in a field of interest, and you may be able to get a teacher rec out of the program.</p>
<p>also -- there is a summer programs forum here on CC and if you read through the posts, you can get all kinds of information.</p>
<p>Thanks for the heads-up,
I am currently s Junior, and I want to do something useful this summer. EPGY looks like it would be great education wise, but the prices are a bit steep for something for which I'm being entreated to join.</p>
<p>prices are steep for most summer programs, but financial aid is available if you really need it (at many, but not all programs).</p>
<p>definitely check out the summer programs forum for ideas of other options</p>
