[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read about so many amazing stem programs on college campuses in the summer.

I know most have humanities/liberal arts offerings, too, but we are having trouble distinguishing among the programs.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a history/political science focused teen? He likes math/statistics, too.

We’d like him to have an experience living on a campus for a week or 2, if possible.

Thanks for any suggestions. [/quote]

To what extent are these programs just income generators for universities? I am trying to understand whether worthwhile or not. Thanks.[/quote]

+1 Does participating in these programs help students get into these universities? [/quote]
No, unless it’s a specifically designed cultivation of possible candidates program. For example, trying to get underrepresented kids in engineering. Also, look closely, in addition at just being  income generators, some are just rented space at big name school but have nothing to do with the school. As OO is trying to do, evaluate each one carefully. Kid can also have a good time at an income generator program…[/quote]
