HOT TIP: This large city-based program is rigorous, and an incredible opportunity for the right teen to explore and expand horizons. It’s also expensive, and creates an extremely slick applicant package. Keep in mind that there’s always a risk that college admissions officers will be skeptical of candidates who look TOO good. Your involvement with TKS could be totally authentic and still come across as too good to be true.
