[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Call me cynical, but if a high school kid wants a university experience, they can do dual enrollment at community college or graduate from high school early. Having to do a university mentorship just seems to be adding to the college applications arms race. I'm glad that your kid wasn't taking away from tuition paying university students who may need this mentoring experience much more to apply to grad school or med school.[/quote] Some kids are interested in science research. It is not a required course and there is nothing wrong with a kid pursuing an interest. Not every kid want to spend their time throwing a lacrosse ball around or sitting at a piano.[/quote] Sure, but how would you feel as a parent paying $60-70k for your kid to attend a college having the academic staff (whose salaries you are paying) using their work time to tutor non-paying high school students.[/quote]
