Several people in my town are sending their kids to these "pre-college programs" at selective colleges, because they feel that this will give their kids a leg up in the admission process for that particular college. One parent I know had apparently done this herself at Brown (albeit 30 or so years ago) and is convinced that this is what got her into Brown in the end.
Obviously the kid still has to have the stats - but can these programs really make a difference when it comes to admission?
