yep that one. I sent my application in already and i hope i got accepted. (Decisions haven't come out yet right? >.>) our summer is longer this year (3 months) because our starting date got pushed back 3 weeks. Maybe you can work for 1 month and go to this for a month? Since i heard it was an AWESOME experience from our val. of '07. If money isn't a big issue and you don't really need the money from the summer job i would definately suggest doing the Harvard program =]
