Boys State

<p>Hi, I was recently recommended for Texas Boys State and might attend. Has anyone been there before (or to any Boy States) and does it look impressive on college app (like MIT, Stanford, etc.)? Thanks!</p>

<p>I went last year. It was fairly boring, but good if you want to be a politician.</p>

<p>Eh, I’m not really going to pursue a political career. But does it look good for leadership and all that? Did you go to Texas Boys State, and if so, could you describe more of how it was? I was given a brochure and that’s it…not very helpful.</p>

<p>I went to FL Girls State but the programs are very similar. Great leadership training, civic education, and you meet tons of people! I went on the Girls Nation and held high elected positions but I feel like it was really the icing on top of a great college app.</p>

<p>Thanks for your reply, but after some thinking I’ve decided not do do Boys State. I don’t plan on a political career and the days Texas Boys State takes place during interfere with some of my activities.</p>
