Let’s be honest: students are always thinking about summer, even in the deepest part of the winter. This is convenient because now is the best time to sign up for a summer college program that can help give your student profile a much-needed boost! But which one will help you the most?
Here are a few dos and don’ts when you are searching for the perfect summer program for you.
- Don’t assume you are too busy for a summer course – While it is true that some courses will last all summer, others are much shorter or can fit into your schedule even if you have a summer job.
- Do check if there are college credits – Some courses offer credits, and some don’t. But even if your course will provide some credits, you also need to make sure the schools you are applying to will accept them.
- Don’t just pick the priciest course – Sometimes less is more. If the course is free but merit-based and difficult to get into, a college admissions officer may view that as more valuable.
- Do check out courses at the schools you are applying to – This is the easiest way to ensure any credits will count and that the admissions officer will notice your extra effort.
