What tier would these summer programs be?Answered
I attended the Harvard Summer School Pre-College Program and the Stanford Pre-Collegiate Summer Institutes programs this summer. They were paid, but highly selective and STEM-focused. Though they were not for credit, the Harvard courses required that we pass a final exam and the Stanford course required a final paper which was then published on the professor's blog. I wanted to add these to my extracurriculars on my profile, but I wasn't sure what tier I should rank them. Technically, because they are paid but required applications, they are Tier I, but I feel like they were more rigorous and competitive than that. Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks for your help!

In my opinion they would be Tier I.
Tier I
I participated in study abroad through my school OR I attended a paid summer program requiring an application
Tier F is the next one up and these would not fit into the criteria:
I attended any other free (for the full summer program, application fee and cost of living out of pocket okay), application required summer program associated with a university or reputable entity like NASA or a journalism foundation
