<p>By the way, the price:</p>
<p>10000 dollars for two years (junior and senior)
5000 dollars for each year before that....</p>
<p>Oh my god.</p>
<p>That quote on the main page is the funniest thing ever.</p>
<p>"My family and friends, along with faculty and peers, call my acceptances into all of the best universities in the world a miracle, especially in light of the fact that my peers were rejected from most of the colleges (even "safeties") to which they applied."</p>
<p>Of course, he HAPPENS to mention that all his friends got rejected from safety schools, just to invoke more paranoia in the hearts of Asian parents.</p>
<p>And yes, I'm so bringing race into this. You know that's who these kinds of sites target.</p>
<p>I don't know if it's a scam...but it sure is funny!</p>
<p>I also like how none of the kids in the program decided to go for equally good schools, like Duke, Cal Tech, or Medii at Northwestern. They're all going to an Ivy, MIT, or Stanford.</p>

<p>I doubt it. Asian parents are more into the "sweat, blood, and hard work" mentality. And they often just don't have the money. Trust me.</p>
<p>These sites target upper-class suburbanites who've probably sent their kids through private school and think that they can pretty much buy everything for their child.</p>
<p>The proof is in the pudding: We have been 100 percent successful in getting every single one of our students into their reach schools for the past five years, says Shaw.</p>
<p>This line alone in their press release section convinces me how much bull the entire thing is.</p>
<p>There is NO guarantee of 100% success. None. Not RSI, not TASP, not Intel Finalist, not even triple legacy.</p>
<p>That being said, it's not a scam. It's just a ridiculously overpriced consulting package that promises things it can't possibly guarantee.</p>
<p>EDIT: On the other hand, they do provide a list of last year's clients. Facebook searches turn up a surprising number of them (the one with the uncommon first names)</p>

<p>On the scammeter, 10 being the biggest scam, this is 150.</p>
<p>To infiniti and beyond!!!!</p>
<p>they say they were mentioned in the washington post and wallstreet journal, but it was probably on stories about how people are so parinoid about college that they buy into scams and pay alot of money to try and get their kids into good schools. either that or they bought add space in the papers</p>
<p>Id rank this a step below the national honor roll, due to the fact that they may indeed have good advice, although most likely nothing anyone here doesn't already know.</p>
