Predental Advisory Programs - Are They Worth It?

As a freshman in college looking to apply to dental school, there isn't a lot of advice coming from my college health advisory office. I think I'm going to need to seek help elsewhere. I have no dentists in the family or as family friends to ask, and I can only ask so much of the doctors I shadow before becoming annoying. Are the programs out there reputable and helpful, or are they scams? Has anyone used one with success they would recommend?
