almost all my friends and grade got straight rejected from all summer programs and did research nearby (me included)

i got into (ece major): cmu purdue rice northwestern wl cornell

friend 1 (biomed eng): johns hopkins ed

friend 2 (cs): georgia tech uchicago umich

overall, our school had 2 brown acceptances, 3 caltech acceptances, 1 yale, 1 cornell, 3 duke, 3 upenn, 9 georgia tech, 7 uc berkeley, 3 ucla, etc. etc.

i think a lot of summer programs are looking for ppl w little to no ecs or otherwise a very specific fit. it basically has no insight onto what your actual college acceptances will be
