[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC has done a few pre-college programs (some here would call "pay to play", some that were extremely competitive and gained them college credit).

If DC includes any/all of these schools in their final application list, they'll be able to write about the "why" far more deeply than just having had an in-person or virtual tour. That makes the programs DC took/is taking worth the money.[/quote]
Will it still be worth it if they don’t get in?  [/quote]

If you ask DC, yes. They’ve gained a lot with the programs they’ve done so far (again including some college credits) so I say yes as well.

To be clear, DC didn’t participate in any of the programs they’ve done so far thinking they would offer a leg up in admissions. In fact all of the schools say these programs make no difference in admissions.

UChicago giving consideration in some way to their pre-college students is a positive thing. I don’t think it should get you in but at minimum get some demonstrated interest consideration would be nice from any school offering these programs. [/quote]
