UC San Diego Academic Connections

<p>I was researching summer programs and I came across this one. Can anyone tell me if this program is any good? Is it worth the money? If anyone's gone, can you tell me about your experiences? I'm applying to other programs, but they're pretty competitive and I doubt I will get into the harder ones, so I'm wondering if this would be an ok backup plan. </p>

<p>Both of my kids attended Academic Connections - different years, different programs. It is a very well organized program with excellent faculty. They are well supervised and have many fun evening and weekend activities. Some of the programs are very intensive, while others are lighter fare. I attended the presentation to parents at the end of the program and was blown away by the enthusiasm of the students and faculty.</p>
