[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I also have questions about the structure? Is it fully legit/supported by the university?

If your kid is a rock star, sure, it will look good on their application to that school and they might get a nice letter of recommendation. But don't overthink which school will help you get into which college.

OP: I am skeptical abt the whole setup tbh. Not sure if dc will go through with it. It is sounding more like the PhD student will help dc with an independent study project of her choosing, not that dc will help with ongoing and existing research. [/quote]

This sounds a bit fishy to me. I work at a high school where kids sometimes to "research" like this with faculty at different colleges. I've always assumed the parents were paying the professors/instructors to "mentor" their children.

Colleges and universities have their own students to educate and provide opportunities working in labs. And unlike the overwhelming majority of HS students, the students in their degree programs with have some background experience and knowledge of the field beyond AP coursework.[/quote]

You assumed wrong. [/quote]
