<p>hey guys, i'm looking for the best/most prestigious programs solely for stuff like international relations/poli science/economics/ethics/history/leadership and that sort of stuff. </p>
<p>im asking because virtually every camp people have been talking about on here has been science or math related and i dont think those would benefit me.</p>
<p>well, i was confused that you just asked for the best/most prestigious program in humanities seeing that, apparently, you already knew what the best one is.</p>
<p>as far as other ones go, i haven't checked. sorry.</p>
<p>Look at the Congressional Page programs for polisci/international relations -- it is definitely possible to get in without connections. A bunch of people in my session did. Not only do you not have to pay tuition, you get paid ($12/hour). You'll get to meet lots of representatives/senators and see politics working from the inside. If you're into international relations, diplomats and executives from other countries come into the capitol and occasionally speak for Congress. It's amazing!!! It is fairly difficult to get into, especially if you don't have connections. You need to submit a transcript, 4 letters of recommendation, a school report, a list of ECs and an essay to your rep/senator's office. Still, I highly recommend it -- it was certainly worth my effort!</p>
