[quote=Anonymous]My kids have both done them and it absolutely was not with the intention that it would help them get into a specific college. DS had no interest in the college where he did a program. DD is now interested in the one where she did it but that was not the intention (and the school is not a reach for her anyway). What they did get out of it was demystifying what it's like to live on a campus, some exposure to the academic fields of interest, and some advise on things to consider when it does come time to apply to college. They also both don't know a lot of other kids interested in the same thing so enjoyed spending a week with a bunch of kids who shared their interest. DS also ended up drawing from the experience in some college essays that asked about why he was interested in the major he was applying to or what his career goals were. [/quote]
