[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear from university staff that these "pre-college" summer programs are basically a way to get funding during the summer while the college kids are somewhat on hiatus. They are big cash cows. Just because it is a brand name does not mean that it is fantastic. I would do a fun summer camp instead like Camp Calleva.[/quote] Yes. This has been discussed as nauseum on the college forum. Some are run by the school, some by for profit companies, so you have to check. They will generally not give you an admissions boost, but they may be a way to demonstrate interest in the school or a particular subject matter. They also give your child a feel for the school and campus life. They are definitely expensive. Worth it? Depends on the kid and your financial situation. Ok. I think a summarized most of the discussion for you.[/quote]
