Anyone heard of LeadAmerica programs?

<p>I've to admit, I've let this sit on my desk for a few weeks now. but it's supposed to be a academically preapproved leadership conference. I just wanna ask if anyone here had any past experience with this, and is it worth spending money to go? (it does cost quite a bit, 1.5k)</p>

<p>to put it simply i went and it sucked. all you are doing is paying for a college credit.</p>

<p>Scam......</p>

<p>really? would you go into more detail about it? i swear i had one foot in the door... and btw, do colleges care about you going to these kind of trips and programs? just wondering.</p>

<p>Colleges really don't give that much credit for programs like LeadAmerica because they are aware that it's generally has little educational balue for a couple thousand dollar fee. The most that going would show is an interest in a particular field (better to find an internship or something of the like than LeadAmerica).</p>

<p>If it asks for money, it isn't worth anything. Do a search for it.</p>
