<p>Hey guys. I am a a curent high school sophomore and prospective applicant to Balliol college for PPE. I was just wondering whether or not the summer 'study abroad' courses were really worth it. Do they help you in any way with the admissions process? Because I would really like to go, it's just that I don't $7,000 lying around. Are there any cheap(er) alternatives? Are there any competitive high school study-abroad internships with scholarships? Anything that cost les than $2000 would be great.</p>
