<p>Is anyone else here going to Harvard Secondary School Program this summer? I just got my emailed acceptance today.</p>
<p>What courses are you registering for? If you did SSP in the past, what courses did you take and what did you think of them (how hard, workload, how good was the prof, etc)?</p>
<p>i think there's an hssp thread in the harvard forum. i went last summer. it was def the best summer i ever had. i took the essay and intro to microeconomics. both classes were good. there were four sessions for the essay, so some of my friends who were taking it did different things than i did. one class concentrated on thoreau and while mine concentrated on essays. and intro to micro was really good. it really sparked my interest in econ. the workload wasn't that bad esp if you spread out your work. don't try to wait until last min because then u'll be screwed. </p>
<p>but it was just such a great experience because harvard is situated in such a nice place. cambridge is amazing and harvard square is wonderful because there are the shops and restaurants. and then the t is right there so you can go into boston. and there was SOo much freedom. enjoy it this summer :)</p>
<p>What grade are you guys in? ^^</p>
<p>i'm a junior</p>
<p>How do the college credits that you earn at SSP differ than the ones you earn from getting high scores on AP exams?</p>
