<p>Hi there. I have started thinking about summer programs I might want to apply to for next summer. I will be a rising junior. I am very interested in the Brown pre college summer program. I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight on their experience and specifically the "So you think you want to be a doctor" course which is what I am most interested in taking should I apply and be accepted. </p>
<p>If you could tell me about the workload (homework, etc), how difficult it is it get in, and just about your overall experience it would be appreciated. :) </p>
<p>I went a year ago (rising sophomore), but I took the Leadership in Science, Technology, and Medicine course instead. I would’ve loved to take that course, but it was full 
Basically it was a good experience of what living on a college campus was like and having a lot of independence. For my course in the Leadership Institute, I had class from 9 AM - 3 PM with two hour workshops afterwords sometimes… The workload was manageable and I hated buying expensive books that I barely looked at!
When you do have free time, there’s always the mall nearby which is great and a lot of places to eat out when you get tired of the cafeteria food. I hated the bathrooms! Def rent/bring a fan if you decide to go…
Just know that going to this program you won’t necessarily get admission into Brown, but I know that my professor said that I would always be able to ask her for a recommendation, which is great.
Overall, I think it was great experience. I wish I got to take the So you think you want to be a doctor course! Getting accepted into the program isn’t bad at all/competitive to be honest. </p>
