<p>i’m currently a junior and i was wondering if i do a summer abroad thing in china will it help my chances into la?</p>
<p>Are you Chinese?</p>
<p>Maybe, maybe not. But I think that you should definately do it if you have the opportunity. I went study abroad in Japan a couple of summers ago and it was absolutely amazing. The experience was incredible so I highly recommend it. </p>
<p>Oh and it gives you something to write about in the essays.</p>
<p>I think it should help in the admission process. From what I've seen this year, the students who got into UCLA from my school do not have spectacular stats but strong EC's.</p>
<p>i'm deciding whether or not to do the ATDP Berkeley Summer Program or to do a summer abroad in china..suggestions?</p>
<p>half a fun summer... go to china</p>
<p>Amiradaprincess: Do you mean "Have?"</p>
<p>go abroad. food's so much better. well, depends where you go.</p>
<p>has anyone participated in the Sino Language Gateway Program Summer Abroad in China?...any feedbacks?</p>
