[quote=Anonymous]It's marketed as research consulting, that they will help you explore your "passion" then connect you with a research team for an internship. The researchers are paid by the consultant to hire the student intern. This feels like open cheating. How do college admissions officers tell the difference between these cases vs kids who genuinely wanted to do research and went out to find a research assistant job and did it for 2 years instead of 2 months? What kills me is these authentic jobs are probably nothing impressive, I mean what could a high school junior possibly do for a real research team beyond taking notes? But the paid-to-play kids above could be getting more impressive research "experience" that involves authorship on research papers. It's incredibly unfair. [/quote]
