i remembr talking about it with Jatz07 on the old B1B2B3 thread...

it looks good!

i knw that cambridge did a summer school for year 11's last year,,,, but when i contacted them a couple moths ago they said they are not doing any

i think UCL and LSE did one.. but those are non-residential ... the imperial one is residential

google it

There was a UCL masterclass I think during the Easter Holidays (or after?) that a lot of people at my school went, I didn't go because I thought it was pointless unless it comes with an additional qualification or something. Besides I'm too lazy haha.

Hi
, my son has been accepted to Adv.Maths in world summer School of imperial , but since it is an expensive course, I am wondering how much it affects the Personal Statement.
Do you know, if it affects the decision of the Univeristy?. He wants to study Computer Science in Edinburgh and he is doind IB. Athe moment, his results of the IB1 exams were very good in HL MAths (scoring 6) HL Physics, (scoring 7) HL Computer Science (scoring 7).

I would appreciate, your answer, becouse from it , it will depend if he will go.
thanks a lot

The summer school i got accepted into was free..and had some stiff competition...i think
i dont think the paid one will have as much competion simply due to the hefty price tag .... but it does show an insight into his course and passion for it

i wouldnt take my word as a decision to go or not

in my opinion ,,, i would go ,,, if the money wasnt an issue...if you get what i mean

No summer school is going to gain anyone entry into a University. Attending a summer school definitely implies that a potential applicant has an active interest and motivation with respect to the subject they're applying for (assuming the summer school is relevant to their planned course at university). However, ultimately, the most important factor is the applicant themselves.

Your son should be attending because he's interested in the course and wants to go, not because he thinks it will give him kudos in the eyes of application staff.
