<p>does it help a lot with admissions?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure it doesn't. But you should go anyway because it's an absolutely amazing experience.</p>
<p>(I did it and just got deferred, which I'm extremely disappointed about, but I don't regret at all doing <a href="mailto:Summer@Brown">Summer@Brown</a>... still one of the best summers of my life.)</p>
<p>My son went this summer to the 7 week program and got a 4.0 average. Deferred. Oh well.</p>
