Wall Street Mentorship Programs? Scam?

I’m a freshman right now seeing all the sophomores go through recruiting. Some are getting cooked, others are placing extremely well. I’m considering buying a Wall Street mentorship program like WSO, WSMM, CXL, etc. I’ve heard positives and negatives about all the options.

Would be great to hear what a good price point is and if people find it worth it. My thinking is people that are cracked would place well anyway, people that are lazy who pay for these, would get a shitty offer anyways.
