[quote=Anonymous]I have multiple students who do summer at Harvard each year. Almost all of them are rejected from Harvard when they apply to be admitted as freshmen. I have a low opinion of this program because students who do this ALL come back believing they will be admitted to Harvard, assuring me that professors had told them they "had a good chance." These students sometimes go back to the summer program several times, and often these are weak students. I understand Harvard is making (a lot) of money from these students in the program, and it must be difficult for the profs teaching in the summer program (to make extra money) to be confronted with weak students who must be placated to ensure they keep coming back and paying, but the whole things leaves a bad taste in my mouth and leads to heartbreak each year when rejection letters come out.
