What do you think of UPenn Neuroscience Research Academy offered summer course?

  1. How difficult is it to get accepted to this summer course for high school students? They have listed a lot of criteria on their website (given above).
  2. Will doing this course help in college admission is some form? I know just doing the course alone won't guarantee admission to UPenn or any Ivy college. But given that you need to spend more than $8000 for 3 weeks course, I hope it helps.

Thanks in advance!
