<p>Haha, I guess in NJ, or even just my school it's a joke. The possible future val. didn't want to go, and neither did the three other people that they chose for it...</p>
<p>i went to the new york boys state last year and it was really cool. Met a lot of interesting people and was a great experience. In terms of colleges, im sure it helps and gives you a slight advantage. If you plan to go to the acadamies(naval, military air force, etc.), then it really helps too</p>
