[quote=Anonymous]They most definitely do not help with admissions, in 90% of cases If anything, they can hurt in two ways: they demonstrate privilege, which is a big admissions turnoff, and indicate a preference for the school whose program you attended. Consider these programs if your DC is the kind of kid who has an insatiable need for enrichment like this. Just for the joy of learning. Or if your DC attends one of the few that are highly regarded (certain writing and Arts programs in particular). Just do not think any of these pay to play programs (which most are) will help with admissions. Don’t even report on the CA that you attended unless the few that are well regarded. A summer job is always a great idea. Demonstrate interest in many other ways. Good luck![/quote]
