[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New Poster addressing OP.  My DC took a Summer at Brown Course between junior and senior year and it was a very valuable and enjoyable experiemce.  DC did a three week class in existential philosophy taught by chair of the department.  The reading load was heavy, but there was not much stress because it was not an official course to go on a transcript.  DC made fast friends with bright kids with similar interests - not many high schoolers today consider philosophy as a major.  Four years later, he is still in touch with a couple of them. The teacher treated the kids like college students -- challenging them in class.  The TAs graded their papers like Those of college students. The experience was good for us as parents - we saw D.C. Liked the environment. It built up D.C.'s confidence that ivy lesgue level work was within DC's reach.  D.C. decided to apply early at a different ivy he preferred to Brown.  OP, I say go for it.

This sounds amazing and so worthwhile. Thanks for posting (I'm not the OP but I am very interested in positive stories like this one!)[/quote]
