McCombs Summer Programs?

Has anyone participated in any McCombs School of Business summer programs? I'm really interested, but I'd love to hear about the experiences of others who have attended before making a decision. Do you think it's worth it?

Participants in these programs generally have positive feedback, and feel that they can be valuable in terms of networking, expanding their business knowledge, and gaining exposure to the university's business program.

In terms of whether it's worth it, that largely depends on your personal goals. If you're considering applying to the McCombs School of Business for your undergraduate degree, attending a summer program can help you get a feel for the atmosphere and curriculum. It can also provide you with opportunities to connect with faculty and current students, which could later be advantageous in the application process. However, keep in mind that participating in such programs is not a guarantee of admission to the business school.

Another aspect to consider is if you're seeking to develop your business skills and knowledge. These summer programs can be a great setting to immerse yourself in the world of business through case studies, workshops, and group projects. You'll have the chance to learn from experienced faculty and collaborate with other like-minded high school students. All of these are benefits that will serve you well even if you end up at a different institution.

In summary, attending a McCombs School of Business summer program can be an enriching experience, especially if you're considering applying to the business school or looking to strengthen your understanding of business concepts. And one last perk is the programs are free! So, unless you have a scheduling conflict or find another opportunity that fits your goals much better, I would say go for it!
