<p>I'm attending summer school over at Stanford. Sleeping in dorms and everything for a month. I really like the school and I'm trying to apply there early decision. </p>
<p>Do you think this could help me? Since it shows some interest in attending the college.</p>
<p>No. Just going to summer school on their campus is not a huge plus on your application, nor will it help significantly when it comes to college admissions. You paid, and you got in. If this really did increase the chances, summer school will be incredibly comeptitive, which by far, it's not.</p>
<p>It helps very very slightly, showing that you are doing something with your summer by academically challenging yourself. However, this is a boost across the board; its nothing special to Stanford adcoms. Treat it as just another EC or something.</p>
