Summer courses on famous campuses, run by a third-party provider.

Our take

Light for college applications

A private company that runs programs at historic campuses. A lovely summer; not an Oxford credential.

“Helps an application” is our read on how much an admissions reader is likely to weigh it: Strong means getting in or placing is a real achievement, Solid means it shows real interest and effort, and Light usually means most students who apply and pay can attend. It’s our opinion, not a ranking from any college, and a light one can still be a great summer.
