@fireandrain I got a financial aid scholarship to go…
About money: if you CANT pay… you can still do it. Just make sure to apply ASAP because money runs out quick. I was going to do a 1 week course however they gave me enough to be able to do a 2 week course for a ridiculously generous price.
I went last summer (I’m a senior now), and I had a really great experience. My instructor is getting his PhD at Brown, and he wrote me a letter of recommendation. More importantly, my class was great, my friends were great, the college info sessions and other interest sessions were great, and Providence was amazing! A great experience even if I don’t end up going to Brown! 10/10 would recommend.
Hi, guys, I am a freshmen in highschool (gr.9) and seeking advices.
I already got in an IR course at USC and applied for Stanford summer institue in the extended app round.
I am not being hopeful at getting in Stanford since it is pretty late and my five page essay absolutely sucked because it was so last minute. (btw, Canadian schools are not nearly as rigorous as US high schools and I have never had to write a 5 page essay before)
Also, I am considering applying for Brown’s as well but a course that start after my USC program so that maybe it is possible to do two in one summer.
Have anyone attended the USC or Brown one? what was the experience? Any general advices would be wonderful.
