[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this program considered a plus for college admissions? It is competitive entry, but still requires payment.[/quote]
It's really hard to say because the kids who go to Interlochen already seem to be the kinds of kids who end up at competitive colleges. Even knowing about Interlochen suggests that you are already in a well-educated and cultured environment, and the ability to pay for Interlochen suggests that the family has means. Of course, Interlochen does award scholarships, but most kids there do not receive substantial aid. [/quote]
85% of the students receive financial aid, as reported on the camp's own website.  I never applied for it, but was offered a merit scholarship when I was a child.  My parents turned down the scholarship, telling the admissions office to give the money to someone else, since they viewed paying full tuition to be a (non-tax-preferred) donation toward the camp's mission.  I now pay my own kids' camp tuition there, with very much the same intention.[/quote]
