SUMaC

<p>Hi, I Am A Junior In California And I Am Accepted To Sumac 2007
I Know It Is A Selective Program And I've Heard How Great It Is.
But I Was Wondering If It Helps To Get Into Competitive Colleges Other Than Stanford
Do Those Colleges (liek Ivy Leagues Or Mit) Know About This Program??</p>

<p>Don't do the program just to try to get into competitive colleges other than Stanford. </p>

<p>I don't think there's a way to tell really. Students at the program are very bright and would probably get into top colleges without having been a part of SUMaC. Of the students who were at SUMaC my year who were rising seniors when we were at camp, I think about 8 of us are at Stanford now, 1 at Brown, 1 at Princeton, 1-2 at Harvard, 1-2 at MIT, 1 at Yale. There were less than 40 students altogether, and about half were seniors, so that's pretty good. I know there are at least three more who are at Stanford who were juniors. </p>

<p>If you have Rick or Rafe write a recommendation, I assume they would briefly explain what the program is. Or you could explain briefly in an essay about SUMaC.</p>
