let’s post every sort of program that is a scam. just for everyone else’s information.<br>
if somebody puts a program that you don’t think is a scam, then refute it
<p>Who's who</p>
<p>Collegeboard SAT</p>
<p>Collegeboard AP</p>
<p>Collegeboard etc. etc. etc....</p>
<p>lol, college board is the biggest scam that helps your appss</p>
<p>it IS funny...dont ya think?</p>
<p>collegeboard should be sued</p>
<p>national honor roll for sure</p>
<p>why collegeboard?</p>
<p>dey rip kids off for profit.</p>
<p>The AP courses are a huge cash cow for the Collegeboard. CB justifies the prices as being much less than what you would have to pay for a class in college. In general, colleges are starting to rethink accepting AP credits since they don't really believe that the AP courses are as good as what you would take in college.</p>
<p>So far we have:</p>
<p>Who's Who
National Honor Roll</p>
<p>and for good reason</p>
<p>there is some program i dont remember the name of, but it has to do with a descendant of alfred nobel. also a scam (requires money to apply). the descendant started/leads it or something like that.</p>
<p>TOEFL!! as any international kid would know.</p>
<p>to send your scores to a school-
1) you cannot do it online
2) u have to do it over the phone (make an international call-high rates= $$$$$)
3) they charge somethinhg like $17 per phone call
4) they allow you to send your scores to ONLY 6 six schools per phone call (so if you want your scores sent to 7 schools u have to make TWO calls and pay the $17 AGAIN)
5) $6 (or something like that) per school u want to send your scores to.</p>
<p>(well i screwed TOEFL over by writing to all my schools and asked them to waive my TOEFL requiremnt [due to my SAT 1 verbal scores] and all the schools agreed to waive it. i suggest any international with a verbal score over 700 (old sat) do this.)</p>
<p>Well, if CB and TOEFL are scams, then so are the colleges. $30K per year in tuition for you to sit in class for 20 hours per week?</p>
<p>alot of poetry contests... like the ones on poetry.com that say they will publish your work if you give them money.</p>

<p>...well if you don't want to support the College Board you could always give it to ACT. ;) With the addition of the GMAT, they aren't much better.</p>
<p>collegeboard is supposed to be a "non -profit" organization. rubbish.</p>
