Summer College Programs...A Requirement?

Summer programs at top universities are becoming more popular for high schoolers with Ivy aspirations. I think that such opportunities can show an individual's academic abilities and interests, but I fear that these programs that help with admissions may simply replicate the student's social class. With the tuition in the thousands, I doubt that many lower or middle class families can afford the opportunity, much less give up that minimum wage job that a lot of teens take up. Also, I would guess that the students of such programs come from well-educated parents who know of such opportunities and their importance.
