<p>Well I work about 48 hours during the summer and I see my friends going out to these impressive ssp like brown and etc. But I cannot afford those programs. Will colleges hold it against me?</p>
<p>Nope.</p>
<p>It really doesn't make that big of a difference. Legally they can't favor a student who's been to their campus or attended a summer program there over one who hasn't.</p>
<p>^ yes and legally they cannot discriminate against students of certain races...and yet they still do. :-/</p>
<p>OP- no they probably won't care.</p>
<p>I mean my stats are really good its just that I have to work to help my family out.</p>

<p>Yes, colleges are all racists and they're all out to slander the minorities until all they have are a bunch of white kids.</p>
<p>for the heck of it I am going to apply to RSI and TASP summer 08. But $5,000 for a month is a lot of money.</p>
<p>"Yes, colleges are all racists and they're all out to slander the minorities until all they have are a bunch of white kids."</p>
<ul>
<li>that's not what I meant at all. I was talking about affirmative action...harder for asians etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>Ohhh yes.</p>
<p>I misunderstood, beg your pardon. :)</p>
<p>SSP's are a bit of a hook, I've been told. But that doesn't mean that you can't make up for your lack of an SSP with different activities.</p>
<p>Well that cheers me up. :)</p>
<p>"Well I work about 48 hours during the summer"</p>
<p>-48 hours a week?</p>
<p>yes. I meant 48 hours a week.</p>
<p>well it would be kinda lame if he only worked 48 hours for an entire summer :p</p>
<p>too bad im a stupid korean. :(</p>
<p>colleges cant really discriminate because they make alot of money from international students..</p>
