<p>Have posted this in the Summer Program section too.</p>
<p>I am a parent of a HS Junior son living in Asia, normally he works at a summer camp here at his school, but this summer we are going to visit colleges so he did not apply.</p>
<p>Just realized that he could do a 1-3 week summer course while he is in the U.S. He is interested in History, Physics and Technology. Any of you know of places that are still accepting applications?</p>
<p>He could even do a writing workshop as he needs to improve in that area, I looked a few websites and they all seem closed. Schools here re-open Mid August.</p>
<p>Try Brown pre-college summer programs. Alot of different classes/choices/time frames. Though I don’t know what is still open, they are still accepting applications.</p>
<p>A friend of mine’s daughter did it, and she really enjoyed it.</p>
<p>University of Penn in Philadelphia has a number of both non credit courses and programs for high school students, and a 4 week summer college credit program for rising seniors that integrates the HS students with Penn college students. Both have rolling admissions until full or May 1st, which ever is first. My kid went to the for credit one and loved the classes, and the students have sort of a summer camp dorm experience with other HS students.</p>
<p>Yale’s summer program. It’s not specifically geared to high school students. The courses are offered to both high school and college students. I think they do house high school students together. They have a wide range of course offerings. </p>
<p>D1 was interested in their Crime and Punishment course. It looked very interesting. She had submitted the whole application (with 2 recs from her teachers) before she was accepted to a competitive program in our state. I believe this program is still open.</p>
<p>second the Cornell summer program. My daughter did one of the Vetrinary programs last summer and it was the best $5k we spent on her, as it helped her realize what she needed to look for in undergrad programs. There were kids from all over the US & world. She had a large contingent of girls from all-over Asia on her floor. </p>
<p>I did not get a sense that the 3 weeks programs were as competitive to get into as a few of the 6 week programs (esp Architeture). There’s a fairly active Facebook group if you want to get additional insight beyond the official website.</p>
<p>If money is no object, there’s even a summer school program for high school students at Harvard – application deadline for internationals is April 15, so you would have to apply this week:</p>
<p>One thing to note at a program like Yale where a real college course is offered, a student will be graded and it is a college credit. It is a double edged sword, depends if a student could do well or not. D2 counselor advised her do such a summer program to prove she could handle a college course well.</p>
<p>[Rose-Hulman</a> Institute of Technology](<a href=“404 | Rose-Hulman”>404 | Rose-Hulman) – my d loved this. And you have the adventure of getting to Terre Haute</p>
<p>Cornell also gives college credit. D1 has a 4.0 GPA! </p>
<p>A week ago she logged on & had transcript sent to Rutgers, as well as one to herself. I don’t think there’s a parallel class at Rutgers, so I assume it will just count as an elective.</p>
