<a href="http://www.cmu.edu/enrollment/summerprogramsfordiversity/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.cmu.edu/enrollment/summerprogramsfordiversity/&lt;/a>
if you get into the APEA, its the same program with the people who pay $7 for their pre-college. you take two college courses and spend 6 weeks on campus. i went this year and strongly recommend it.
you also get a chance to apply EA to CMU, which will be available only to those who come to APEA. to my knowledge, only about 50 people apply to CMU through EA and the acceptance rate is "quite high".</p>

<p>bmanbs2 -- it is my understanding that they haven't done the QuestLeadership program for several years and don't have funding and/or plans to offer it in the future.</p>
