[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only kids who participate in these programs are rich kids whose parents wrongly think participating will boost college admissions chances. Colleges know this, and cater to this demographic. The programs are cash cows for colleges, and they're happy to take your money.[/quote] I think they have a much broader appeal than that, as it is likely worthwhile for many to spend time on campus, live in a dorm, etc. But I agree that many programs, particularly those run by third parties, are just cash-sinks without much if any upside. Trouble is, some run by the schools themselves are likewise sketchy. But not all.[/quote]
