[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Will a summer internship at UVA help my kid get in? DS did it this past summer and plans on coming back again next year[/b].[/quote]

I doubt it - most of those summer programs are ways for universities to make some big bucks.  The Harvard Stanford and Yale programs are famous for taking $12K of parents' money but no one actually gets in from that "summer class" the next fall (the students create Facebook pages so stay in contact and know who actually gets in - there's a lot of grumbling about these expensive programs on College Confidential).  Some summer programs aren't even affiliated with the University - say, ID Tech just rents a lab and rooms and then doubles the charges on the parents.  But check the name of the summer internship/UVA on College Confidential. [/quote]

We didn't pay for him to attend; he received a small stipend/paycheck from UVA for his two weeks there and was "unofficially" invited to come back next year for three weeks.[/quote]
