Plan Ahead for Summer

It’s hard to turn our thoughts to summer when winter is just
kicking into gear. But, we encourage students
to take some time before the Christmas break to begin
researching their summer plans. Many of the top summer programs
at colleges and private schools fill up well ahead of the spring
deadlines. Focus on your academic interests: if you like science,
then check out top science-oriented programs. If you like
writing, then look into journalism camps or poetry workshops.
Remember, sometimes financial aid is available on a need basis,
so don’t be shy about applying.
 
The internet is a good first step to sifting out your options.
Check strong programs like summer school at Cornell, Columbia,
Andover, and many others. Advance planning now will come
in handy later when you find yourself scrambling to finish
these applications by the appropriate deadlines. For now, at
least, request information from 5-10 programs. You might
need to organize teacher recommendations, write essays,
and in some cases have interviews – so get started now.
