Hi,
I'm a junior in HS. I found out about Lebanon Valley College's 5-day actuarial summer program recently from a high school newsletter. I'm not sure if I should attend. I have a pretty strong math background, but I don't know that much about probability/stats which is why I'm interested in this. I also liked that the application process was selective, as it required me to provide a reference and write a 500-word essay explaining why I want to go to the program.
If I go, however, I would have to drop another 5-day camp that runs at precisely the same time, a free LIU Creative Writing camp. I like creative writing, but I'm already taking a different 10-day creative writing camp before that. Still, however, it seems like a shame to pass up a free camp to pay $900 for another one.
Does anyone know how good LVC's summer program is? I heard LVC is a very strong college for actuaries, with near 100% graduation rate, so I imagine their program for high school students would be great as well. I hope, though, that they make use of sufficiently advanced math; I don't want to be doing simple interest computations and feel like I'm in 8th grade again.
Also, would getting into LVC be more impressive for colleges, since there's a more thorough application process in contrast to LIU's program?
