I really hope he enjoys it as much as I did and continues appreciating all the exciting hands-on opportunities camps provide. I can't really speak on behalf of the admissions process here, or any other Ivy for that matter, so if you have questions about admissions, definitely peruse http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/contact/index.html for further contact info :) Personally, I would just encourage your son to dive into the activities he enjoys most! If science camp is his thing, don't hesitate to do it again or research other similar programs. Whatever he finds thrilling to learn about or do, I'd encourage to look for ways to get immersed in that - whether that is science camps, internship positions or reading! Thanks for reading Tom and please don't be shy about reaching out and suggesting other aspects of undergraduate life you'd like to hear about! --Jeanie Nguyen Hi Tom,

Whatever he finds thrilling to learn about or do, I’d encourage to look for ways to get immersed in that – whether that is science camps, internship positions or reading!

I currently have a 14 y.o. son that participates in science/robotics/programming camps at Villanova. I would like to know if you have any insight, that you are willing to share, about camps that would prepare him for Ivy League admission or any things he should be doing to help "complete" his education outside of the regular curriculum. Thank you very much for your time. I enjoyed your article and I really liked your take on Summer Camps.
