[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP why haven't you named the program? At least you can help others avoid it. [/quote]

I'd understand if she doesn't want to out her kid right now. However, I'd love to see a thread with reviews of pre-college programs. [/quote]

Great idea to start this new thread at the end of the summer![/quote]
omg.  We should have a forum called "Reviews."  Individual threads could be like:

Pre-College Programs
Summer Day Camps
Summer Sleepover Camps

and could even branch out into Best Store-bought Ice Cream and stuff like that

Actually, I did search here and all over the internet for info about this program, and I couldn't really find any. Info about these programs can be spotty. There are the big ones like Yale Global Scholars that are well known and Stanford and those really high profile programs that have that cache, but there isn't as much info on the other ones. It would have been very helpful for me. I don't want to discuss the name now, but after this is done, I would totally give an anonymous review without all of this personal stuff to help other parents understand the feel of the program. I wish I had been able to find that information before. Instead, I just went with the reputation of the school and because it was sponsored BY the school and not a third party. Looking back, that might have been the mistake. I would never do this again without talking to actual parents who had sent their kids to something.

There already is a forum for this - camps and classes. [/quote][/quote]

My child is also going to a pre-college program that I chose after doing way less than my normal research. It was particularly hard this summer because most pre-college programs haven't been in person since 2019. Don't beat yourself up, OP. You couldn't have known.[/quote]
