Q: (Initially posted April 13, 2004) FROM STUDENT MEMBER JEN K. IN NJ
I'm a junior in high school thinking about attending a summer program at
CMU, but I'm not sure which one to attend. I want to major in
architecture/engineering in college. I'm trying to decide between the APEA
program in Calculus and Physics for Engineering, which allows me to take the
same courses college students would get, and the architecture program which
would give me an idea of what it would be like to study architecture in a
university. Does anyone have any suggestions over which program I should
choose?

A: FROM MENTOR CHARLENE CASSIDY IN SC
Jen, I'm sure this is a tough decision for you. If I were you, I think I would choose the architecture program, because it will give you an idea of what studying architecture will involve. It may help you to decide if that is where your interest truly lies.

While the calculus and physics program would certainly be a benefit, you will take these classes in high school and college. I think you should use your time in this program to explore your interests. Be sure to have some fun too. Best of luck to you.
