<p>Cav hit the nail on the head. If you can do something uniquely creative with yourself, like do research and get published, or get a job normally held by an adult. Come up with something that the admissions people have never seen before it would be really awesome to do something that you are passionate about. Honestly though, since I don’t know your passions, anything I could tell you is going to be generic, so your options are going to be things that have been seen before but are still amazing (RSI, research, etc) or something creative that only you could think of. Otherwise you are just going to be better off getting a job, so you can make money and you will break even with respect to admissions.</p>
<p>“smart camp” probably wont help unless you get into something great like RSI. Otherwise you probably will just be spending 3 grand on something no one will care about, look into it a lot first.</p>
