| Jul 5, 2013 at 17:12 | comment | added | Naresh | Thanks. We're required to bring a poster describing our current work and that formed the basis of the application(based on which students were selected). So, it definitely won't be just showing up. :) I'll definitely try to network though. That startup showcase on demo day should be fairly interesting as well. | |
| Jul 5, 2013 at 16:48 | comment | added | J.R. | As for how this would affect your chances for admission into a graduate program, that depends. I think the admissions office will probably pay the most attention to your undergrad GPA, and your GRE scores. If those are low, I don't think summer school will do much to offset that. If those are high, you may not need an extra boost anyway. If you're applying to a very competitive school, though, an experience like this might set you apart from other similarly-qualified applicants, and give you a slight edge. But I think gerrit has listed better potential benefits in his answer. | |

| Jul 5, 2013 at 9:44 | comment | added | Naresh | (1500$ for everything included). 1000$ without lodging. The majority of the costs are for traveling though. I would appreciate a comment on how it affects graduate admissions though. | |
