Now that PSAT scores are out, in addition to receiving email directly from colleges, my daughter is also receiving invitations to participate in various academic enrichment opportunities. The most recent invite has come from the National Student Leadership Conference. I skeptically view these as primarily money-making opportunities for the organizations that conduct them. But am I too jaded in my views? Are some of these opportunities worthwhile and truly representative of a selective admission criteria? How can you tell which ones are "legit" so to speak and which ones are really just a way for someone to make money?
