Summer Programs: Ensuring a Complete College Application

The Common Application asks students to provide any college-level courses they have taken, and summers are a great time to take such courses. Some of these programs are more rigorous than others, and you want to make sure your child attends a serious program that requires an application. Below are three suggestions based on our students’ successful experiences:

• Yale Global Scholars
• Columbia University Summer Programs
• Brown University Pre-College Programs

Students may also consider language immersion programs such as MMLA, which takes place at a variety of colleges:

• http://mmla.middlebury.edu/ http://mmla.middlebury.edu/locations/pomona-college.php
• http://mmla.middlebury.edu/locations/swarthmore-college.php

If you have questions about applying to these programs or would like to hear from students who have participated, please let us know.
