<p>Hey everybody, I'm a junior from NYC and I want to apply to the Stanford program. My stats aren't too great, at least to Stanford's level, but I was wondering if the summer program is as selective.</p>

<p>Stats:
GPA: 3.58 (Didn't do too well freshmen year, but got around a 3.88 for sophomore and I have a 3.8 for junior so far) </p>

<p>SAT: 2160 </p>

<p>EC's:
Competitive Cyclist
Head and founder of a cycling club at my school; we ride on weekends and participate in communal rides that NYC sets up
Tutor in Spanish and Latin
Editor of School literary magazine
I also teach some kids how to skateboard</p>

<p>Has anybody else gone/is going to apply? What were your scores like?</p>

<p>Wrong forum, but…</p>

<p>If you’re talking about the Stanford Summer Institutes (formerly known as Stanford EPGY), you should definitely get in. It’s one of those pay-to-get-in programs. As long as you’re not failing your classes and can afford the $6000 you’ll be accepted.</p>

<p>if your doign this to look good at colleges. dont. colleges dont care about pay summer camps; they are just meant for rich people to buffer their resume.</p>

<p>****, I’m new here. Thanks. I think that’s a different program though; there’s the High school institutes program and then the summer college program where you take classes with undergrads. Not sure.</p>

<p>Sorry, disregard what I said, then. The Stanford Summer Institutes program is different from the one where you take college courses. Don’t know much about the college course program, sorry.</p>

<p>Try looking at this thread. I think this is the college course one. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/460566-summer-stanford-university-high-school-college-summer-programs.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/460566-summer-stanford-university-high-school-college-summer-programs.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
