<p>I'm a sophomore this year, and for summer, I'm planning to go to summer@brown or ssp harvard...
but since they're both pretty expensive, I want to make a good choice and make the money worth it...does anybody have experiences there?
I want to take the Writing Course at harvard..is it too soon?
I want to be a doctor, so any courses you would suggest?</p>
<p>Well, which school are you more interested? Generally these programs are for kids interested in going to that school. I have not been to either, but I would think that they are generally the same. Just decide which school and atmosphere you would like to experience.</p>
<p>No, it is not to early to take the writing course. These summer programs are designed for high school kids, and since you will be a rising junior, there should be no problem.</p>
<p>If you want to be a doctor, take any science related course. Anatomy would be best if they have it.</p>

<p>^^^That is so not true. Almost no one at Summer@Brown wanted to go to Brown, it was usually just more convenient or sounded more interesting than other similar programs. Personally, just based on my perceptions of each school and the type of people that go there, I wanted to go to Brown because it's known as more laidback than Harvard. Plus Brown has AMAZING course selections. You should pick whichever one fits your personality and has the programs you need. I went this past summer (I'm a junior now), and most people were either rising juniors like I was or rising seniors. </p>
<p>I'd actually advise taking an interesting course versus a course that pertains to your current career choice, if you're not taking the course for credit. For example, I love writing, and plan on pursuing that career, but I did a 2 week public speaking mini course and had the best time of my life. You have plenty of time to take plenty of science courses for the rest of your life. Only during these precious summers will you be able to do what you want and experiment with new things. </p>
<p>I hope you make a good choice!</p>
