<p>The Columbia, NYU, and Harvard programs you mentioned are all on the “pay-to-get-in” side. They cost so much because you get credit from them (except Columbia, which is IMO overpriced).</p>

<p>Don’t include “boost college application” as a criteria when searching for programs. Often, you’ll dismiss programs that offer experiences comparable to the bigger names.</p>

<p>For LBW, check out some other threads:</p>
