[quote=Anonymous][quote]Summer college programs are a scam. They make the families think they have a shot at the school. The school rents out their empty facilities to a separate unaffiliated company and hire the professors as paid consultants. It all has the veneer of being a college experience. Paid internships are BS. A real job speaks more about real experiences than an artificial "job" paid for by mommy and daddy.[/quote] +1 Do not send your kid to one of these college-based summer programs expecting it will help them get into college. It won't. There may be good reasons to attend such a camp, but an admissions boost is absolutely not one of them.[/quote]
