Is ThinkNeuro a legit research internship opportunity eventhough their asking to pay $40?

I got accepted to the neuroscience research section and felt like it was a red flag because they are now asking for a $40 fee after never addressing it in their promotion. Is there any better place to actually do scientific research that would be valuable to ivy leagues.

Are college prep courses a scam?

I was recently on instagram where it stated that if you have a 3.7 gpa or higher the program could help your child get into a top college and if they don’t they wouldn’t have to pay any fees. I always have wondered if that is just advertisement or actually true.

I just learned about a program where Stanford students are helping high schoolers get mentoring. But the process is very selective and I wonder if it’s better to get nominated by a trusted professional I know or apply myself?

What would look the best?
