UPenn Summer Program

I will be attending the Wharton Global Young Leader Academy this summer, so I am just looking to see if anyone have went or going to this summer camp at Penn. I would be really appreciated if anyone can share their experience with summer camp like this since this is the first time going to a college camp.

Questions:

  1. How much does the evaluation completed by the RTA counts at admissions later on (bc they say that the Residential Teaching Assistants will be sending evaluations to the admission offices)?
  2. What is the best way to succeed in camp like this?
  3. What should I do before going?
  4. Is there a way to get to know the people before going?
  5. They sent me contact info of my RTA (phone number and email address). Should I get in touch with my RTA before going? What should I say (I am super nervous abt this)?

Any help is appreciated!!!
