<p>My predicament... Summer@Brown V. NYLFM
Thank you in advance for whatever help you find yourself able to give. My predicament is as follows: I've normally been a perfect student, to be brief, but at the beginning of my secomd semester, I've been diagnosed with insomnia... Joy (writing this past midnight). So my math grade has dropped, terribly. This is undoubtedly my last year to be accepted to anything worthwhile, in the way of summer programs. Regardless of my "career aspirations" I need to weight my college application. I've been accepted to Summer@Brown and invited to the National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine, and I'm unsure which to attend. Which carries more weight with admission officers? I know Summer@Brown is an open-application-type program, and NYLFM is invitation only, and in the past 10 years, 8 students from my school have attended, some of them valedictorians, and all of them notable. NYLFM also gives college credit at George Mason, while Summer@Brown does not give any college credit. NYLFM seems like the more prestigious program all in all, but I'm unsure, as Summer@Brown is still an Ivy Lrague summer program. So if you could give me ANY inkling of information about what looks better to colleges, it'd greatly behoove me, I need to choose ASAP, by Sunday, unfortunately. Thank you all, for any help that might come(:</p>
<p>I got the same NYLFM mail for the George Mason, and have applied to summer@brown, and have not heard back. I do believe that summer@brown is better looking, because if you actually look closely at NYLFM, its more for fun compared to brown. NYLFM has field trips to amusement parks, etc. Stuff that has nothing to do with medicine. Brown has more medical things, that is, if you take a medicine course. It also shows Brown, that when you apply, you have interest in their school.</p>
<p>And a quick question. How long did it take for them to process your application, and send you a decision letter?</p>
<p>Well, I’d actually be taking a psychology, political science, or world history course at Brown. And yes, I thought about that, the “brownie points” from attending. Look to your email for acceptance first, but it took somewhere around twenty days…</p>
<p>Thanks! I just received my acceptance letter today, and was hoping to take a medical course. So, Im pretty much ruling out NYLFM.</p>
<p>Congrats! Hah, I’ve picked Summer@Brown, so who knows, see ya there?</p>
<p>YES! cya there :D</p>
