The Best Way to Demonstrate Interest in Colleges

Visiting a campus for a few days is great, but being on campus for weeks can offer more opportunities to increase the odds of admission to your target school. How do you find these opportunities? The answer: summer programs.

WHAT ARE SUMMER PROGRAMS?

Summer programs are organized by colleges and are usually a few weeks long. Students may have the opportunity to stay overnight on campus. Since summer programs simulate the academic school year, participating students take multiple classes, eat at dining halls, and live as a regular college student would.

BENEFITS OF A SUMMER PROGRAM

Attending a college summer program allows you to determine if you want to attend as a real student down the road and gives the college a chance to develop an interest you. Here are five goals participants should strive for.

FINANCING A SUMMER PROGRAM

Most summer programs at prestigious universities are not free of cost. They are often several thousands of dollars. See an example below for Brown University:

Brown University Summer Residential Student Fees (Room and Board)

1-Week Course: $2,709

2-Week Course: $4,191

3-Week Course: $5,966

4-Week Course: $6,764

However, if you qualify for financial aid, you will most likely qualify for scholarship aid at the institution. After aid is applied, you should be able to attend the program for little to no charge. Remember, most program aid is offered on a rolling-basis; first come, first serve.
