<p>I have recently been told about the Yale summer program and it has spark a great interest in me. I am currently a freshman at UofT in Ontario, Canada.
I have read through the website and I like the classes that is offered and etc.
But what I would like to know is how difficult it would be to gain admission into this program and also what can expect if given admission. If I don't do this program my other summer plans will consists of working part-time and taking a course at UofT.</p>
<p>Hopefully you parents have knowledge on this. Thanks</p>
<p>I don't believe it is VERY difficult to get into Yale summer program if you are a decent student at UofT. Summer programs in American universities are geared for the inter-college experience, with very different admission policies than for the regular session. As a summer student, you will be able to live in university housing. Just make sure whatever classes you take at Yale will be transferable at UofT - for American students this wouldn't be much of an issue, but I don't know how Canadian unis deal with credits obtained in the US.</p>

<p>katliamom: Some (most?) selective colleges in the US do not offer college credit for any classes taken during high school time. (AP/IB is an exception.) Our D took a math class at Yale during regular semester (because she exhausted what is offered at her high school) and Swarthmore would not give credit for that.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info.</p>
<p>Northeastdad- I'm not sure if that info was for me as I am already attending a University.</p>
<p>northeastdad, Yale offers college credit for college students. If your daughter was a high school student when she took the Yale math course, and the high school gave her credit toward graduation, then Swarthmore (or any LAC I know about) wouldn't award double credit. This seems to be generally true. Lots of kids at local HS do dual-credit courses at the uni, and the UC system accepts them, but the private colleges do not (because the courses counted toward high school requirements).</p>
