<p>Hi all..
I've recently been occupying myself with the question of how I will effectively spend my summer break. I live in San Diego, so the COSMOS program at ucsd seems practical, but I was wondering if it would just be a waste of time, and I would be better off spending my summer working or attending a different program. I am interested in STEM subjects, but I would much rather attend a business or architecture program, maybe in the ivys or stanford? But then I've heard those kinds of camps are looked down upon by admission offices... feeling very stressed right now, and would appreciate any help. I know this isn't how I should be spending my winter break, but I can't help myself after seeing several students from my school get ed acceptance to stanford, Columbia, Harvard, etc. I feel so shallow saying this, but which business/architecture program would be most impressive for college apps? thank you</p>
