How prestigious is being Girls State/Boys State governor?
Pretty impressive to those who know about it. Even better if you made it to Nation.
My daughter went to GS this summer. As she interviewed at a number of colleges over the summer, some of them had not heard of Girls State.
One of my best friends went to Boys Badger State and Boys Nation but still didn’t get into Madison. He thought it was a guarantee for admission but ended up heartbroken and at UW milwaukee
My D was selected to go to Girls’ State and it is a very good example of leadership, which she used on her applications, but won’t guarantee admission.
Are you from Girls State? Yeah yeah! (We had the cheesiest songs in CA)
If you’re governor, it’s a huge deal. Great essay material but like everyone’s said- it’s a nice little sequin on your app, not a diamond frame.
Bump
My son was offered $1,000 a year for having been to Boy’s State at his #2 school.
Likely depends on the state. Isn’t that how Bill Clinton got started?
