[quote=Anonymous]Barnard awards credit for scores of 4 or 5 on many AP exams. If she will receive credit that can be used toward a Barnard degree and will also be able to use AP scores to get more credit, you might be able to save money long-term if the summer course gets her to a full semester's worth. Of course, most students won't want to graduate early due to social reasons, so that might not work practically. The summer program might also help her confirm that it's the right place for her. All that said, attending a summer program at a school you really want to attend is very iffy with regard to admissions and not likely to yield more than some other worthwhile summer pursuit, like perhaps a class at a local school that's less selective and might be on her radar as a safety. The only way it's likely to help is if she makes a major connection with one of the faculty members, who subsequently goes to bat for her with the admissions office. Like I said, iffy.[/quote]
