Summer Camps

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

Hi all,

I’m currently a junior in high school and want to go to a summer camp next summer related to engineering. I’ve been considering COSMOS and USC’s summer programs (I’m in California), but they’re really expensive and I’m not sure if I can afford them. I was looking at Cal Poly SLO’s 1 week summer camp, and I was wondering:

  1. Can you put these summer camps on your application, and how large of an impact do they have? (I know I won’t get a specific answer)
  2. Will going to Cal Poly SLO’s vs. COSMOS look bad? Because Cal Poly SLO’s is only 1 week, would it have less impact than COSMOS/USC?

Thanks :slight_smile:

it’s definitely good to have a camp. try to look for some other ones though. if you’re competitive enough, even go for the tougher ones, although RSI is quite impossible. cosmos is pretty good but not the most selective (also it is kind of pricey I guess) so keep googling!
