[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a fan of these programs. They are just money makers. Better to spend time on an EC or at a job. My DD got into Ivy with a good old fashioned summer job. [/quote] My kid got 6 college credits from hers and ruled out a school and a major she thought she wanted. My other kid ruled out art as a major as a result of a summer program. Not to mention both learned a lot, made friends (and a boyfriend for one) and had fun. I consider those wins. Agree, it is a money maker for the school and likely does not help in admissions. They are not necessary by any stretch but if you can afford it and you have a kid who isn’t sure what they want, it’s a nice way to dip their toe into a subject area or get a feel for a school.[/quote]
