Would attending NYU's pre-college program heighten my chances of being accepted?

<p>I love NYU and I am attending the precollege program summer but I was wondering if doing that would increase my chances of getting into the school next year.</p>

<p>No, from what I have read here. Just do the summer program for your own sake if the program provides you with knowledge you want. Then you can write meaningfully about it in your essay for admission if you want or get a recommendation from the program if you do well in it and get to know the faculty or administrator of the program.</p>
