<p>Anyone heard of it - especially the course on The Grand Strategy? How challenging is it as a summer program + is it worth the cost?</p>
<p>This is a great program. It has been called Ivy Scholars past years. The lectures are by full professors, and some very well known in the field. Although its only 2 weeks long, days are quite full, from 9 to 9 with lectures, discussions and papers due. My son did APPLE last year (the PLE equivalent) and has applied for Grand Strategy this year. Acceptance last year was about 33 %. This year they have combined programs so less students will be accepted, and hence, I expect admission to be more competitive.</p>
