Summer at UCLA

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Los Angeles

<p>Does anyone know if summer programs at UCLA help out during the admissions program at all? I did one called Summer Discovery this past summer for 6 weeks, and though not the entire program was through the school classes wise, we had the option of taking college classes for credit, which I did. I took Philosophy: Intro to Ethical Theory if that makes any difference. I'm hoping that UCLA will see that I am capable of getting a high grade in one of their classes the summer before senior year, and then will let me in! Ah that would be nice.</p>

<p>But seriously, do things like this help at all?</p>

<p>I did summer discovery once upon a time. I got an A- in the class, and I bet it helped a little (and I got to transfer it in). So yes its a good thing.
Also summer discovery kids are nothing at all like UCLA ones. the real thing is always better.</p>

<p>Of course the real thing is always better...I just hope I get the real thing.</p>

<p>it will definitely help as an extra curricular activity you did in the summer. i dont think they will give you special preference at ucla because you came here for the summer program.</p>
