<p>If you have attended a pre college program at a university over the summer, does it boost your chance of admission?</p>
<p>There is no evidence that it does. Going to one of the premier competitive math/science camps or a humanities experience at TASP is generally regarded as being more helpful.</p>
<p>The short, quick answer is: no, attending a summer college program will not boost your chance of admission. Please see below threads:

<p>No, definitely not. Summer programs are rarely worth the money unless they’re highly competitive. The most prestigious programs are free (TASP, Governor’s Schools).</p>
