NYT: Congratulations it's an honor, you're invited...It's a sales pitch!

<p>I almost went to one of those programs in Washington, but then I read on CC about those type of programs being scams. I chose to take college classes at a local university instead at a reduced rate. I paid $300 to take two three credit courses, instead of paying $3,000 to go to NYLC (I think it was NYLC, but it could have been something else similar). I guess I dodged a bullet there…</p>
