Applying to College
1

How much weight do colleges put on summer programs - like MIT Launch - during the admissions process? Especially if that program correlates to a specific major or “sub-school”.

If you have never heard of Launch, here is their website: https://mitlaunch.com/program.html

Here is admissions information: 12% acceptance rate with 29 states and 30 countries represented for 140 spots.
