My son received an unsolicited letter from Stanford Saturday congratulating him on his academic achievements and inviting him to attend Stanford's summer school program for high-schoolers.
(He's been flip-flopping between Stanford and Cal tech for a while now).

Stanford High School Summer College is where exceptional students take Stanford undergraduate courses and earn college credit during the summer quarter. Students choose anywhere from one to five courses out of 145 offered in 30 academic departments. Residential or commuting options are available.

Anyone BTDT or have any info? I'm trying to figure out if there would be any advantage to it, I don't see any right off the bat unless we lived across the street.
He's already maxxed out on honors or AP classes.
I can think of allot cheaper ways to pile up undergraduate credits than sending him to Stanford for the summer unless they offer scholastic scholarships for summer school.
As with other misguided members of academia, they apparently offer all sorts of financial help based on LOW INCOME instead of ability or performance.
Where the hell did this country get the idea that it would be good to reward failure and punish success?
Oh that's right, Now I remember: PARF.
