FTE Economics for Leaders: Legitimacy

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>Hello,
I was accepted to the Duke campus for the Economics for Leaders program put on by the Foundation for Teaching Economics (Link here: <a href="http://www.fte.org/student-programs/economics-for-leaders-program/"&gt;http://www.fte.org/student-programs/economics-for-leaders-program/&lt;/a&gt;). I was wondering, how legitimate is this program? Is it actually educational? Do colleges respect it? Is it selective? Is it worth the $1200? If you say it is legit, where did you find out?
Thanks</p>

<p>I got accepted to the campus at UCal- Berkeley and I plan on going. It’s legit and has a pretty selective criteria. </p>

<p>Are regular decisions out yet? I applied to UChicago, Duke and Yale. Definitely legit</p>

<p>@ramenforlife I don’t think so. I remember reading something like “by the end of the March” so I guess we’ll just have to wait for another few weeks. But weren’t the apps due like last week?</p>

<p>I applied to Duke (seems like everyone else on CC did), Cornell, and Washington. My AP Art History teacher told me about it (he heard about it from one of his former students), so I’m assuming it’s at least legitimate.</p>
