[quote=Anonymous]There are some that are helpful in admissions, specifically the really prestigious science programs that are application only and in many cases free or very low cost to attend. Then, there seem to be a second category that are selective but not overly so, that are still costly, and may be somewhat helpful to have on a resume, like the Wharton business program, I don’t recall the name.

There are also other isolated opportunities. My DS is doing a small application only program that was selective but at a not overly selective university.

I do suspect it will help him in admission to that school but he’d likely get in anyway. I think it’s a case where the school is trying to recruit strong candidates.

We considered a number of different programs but only looked at those that were 1) directly run by the university instead of a third party vendor, 2) had some sort of selection process and 3) where the fees seemed like they were in the range of paying for the program itself as opposed to being a cash cow for the school.[/quote]
