Hey everyone, I'm a junior stressed about college applications and looking for ways to strengthen my application. I've been thinking about attending a summer pre-college program, but they're really expensive! Do you think it's worth the cost? Will it make a huge difference in my chances of getting accepted? I'm interested in studying biology, and some programs offer cool research opportunities. Any advice would be really helpful, thanks!
Pre-college programs can be cool, but they're not always worth the price tag. They don't guarantee better chances of admission. If you're into biology, consider looking for local research internships, volunteer work, or even job-shadowing opportunities. They could be cheaper (or even free) and still give you valuable experience. Good luck!
