Education & Reference - 17 January 2007

I'm a high school junior this year. I'm valedictorian of my class of 500, and thus, I'm looking to apply to and attend a top college.

This summer, I was planning to work as a day camp counselor--same thing I've done for the past 3 years. But seeing as this is the "college crunch time," my parents and I are beginning to think that perhaps I should take some sort of for-credit precollege program instead. I know of many schools that offer them (Harvard, Brown, Yale, etc), and my mom said she'd reimburse me for not earning a salary this summer.

However, I'm trying to figure out if I really want to dedicate my summer to more school. Has anyone attended one of these programs, and if you did, what were your thoughts? Also, does anyone know how much they'd truly affect college admissions?

Why is it necessary to test for complete precipitation if a supernatant solution is going to be subsequently tested for ions?

a. Additional product formed may be added to the first precipitation to provide additional solid sample.
b. There must be an excess of the added reagent present in subsequent tests.
c. It is necessary to increase the volume of the supernatant fraction so that subsequent tests are readily observable.
d. The presence of unprecipitated ions in the supernatant may react with subsequent reagents added and obscure the results of tests.

Do you think it would be best for a very shy student to be homeschooled if that would make them more comfortable? Why or why not?
