I'd never heard of Lead America until this post. I'm extremely wary of summer programs that aren't tied directly to a university, as many of them are just cash cows that won't necessarily help students in any way. I'm not going to name any of them specifically since I'm sure there are plenty of GC-ers who are alumni of, or sent their kids to, those programs.
The Barnard program is highly regarded. Women's leadership initiatives are huge right now, because it's becoming more and more evident that women will succeed with great female mentors. Also, the Barnard campus is self-contained and pretty safe--I'm not sure where Lead America is housing their students.
As far as college applications, I'm not sure how much one program vs. the other will make a difference, honestly.
Is your daughter still interested in Brown?
