[quote=Anonymous]These pre-college programs are crazy expensive.
We sent them because they were interested in the topics the programs offered.  They both speak fondly of all their experiences. The programs have influenced their career options, they've made really good friends, and both say it was a great preview of college life.

These are the ones we chose that weren't the most expensive: 
National Student Leadership Conference (NSLC)- $5k for 10 days 
Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY)- $5k for 3 weeks
Great Books - $4k for 1 week (this was the only in-person option we could find last summer so we sucked it up but kid loved it now wants to go back)

I've seen programs that were $10k for 3 weeks- Georgetown was one of them.

Here are some others:

St. Johns in Annapolis- $1k for 1 week, need to write an essay to apply. 
Stanford Humanities Institute- was it $3k but it might be only online
My kid got an invite for a different summer program at Stanford that's not the Humanities Institute. it was about 8K for 3 weeks.
Yale Global Scholars is online only.  Lots of requirements for the application. $3500
James Madison Summer Honors Progam- $1k week, competitive.

Looking at Governor's school options in Virginia too but the issue is, they don't provide decisions until after the deadlines of these other paid programs.
