[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't push it if your kid is not interested in going to the summer program.  They are expensive and they are a money grab, but despite what I've read here, I've heard of many kids going to the college where they completed a summer program at that college, and I'm sure that their participation in the program allowed them to write better "why [this college]" essays and helped them stand out from a yield management perspective.[/quote]

OP here. Thanks for your input. This is kind of where we're landing because DC has been exposed to the school enough that they could certainly write a "why this school" essay. That said, we're hesitant to turn our heads at a chance to show that DC would fit in well in that school community.

I guess the question comes down to whether anyone knows if those summer programs are "tracked" in any way by the admissions office to be the deciding factor in the admissions process.  [/quote]

Never heard of them being tracked or making a difference to that college. [/quote]
