<p>Does anybody have a positive experience with this program? A teacher at my school apparently nominated me for this and I got the application and brochures in the mail a couple of days ago... it looks pretty interesting and I'm assuming its more legit than these regular program offers I've gotten since a faculty member had to nominate me. It looks like it consists of a series of seminars and lectures and whatnot... is it worthwhile?</p>
<p>hey i got that too! apparently you represent your state and school and the united states, and its supposingly very "selective"? but its expensive! and does it look good on a college resume?</p>
<p>There have been threads on this already. Apparently, it's not very prestigious or anything but some people report having had good experiences with it.</p>

<p>This program is worth nothing. It only shows colleges that you can afford the $2000-4000 price ticket.</p>
<p>yeah it's pretty much crap. it's just a way for them to get your money. plus...half the time they're lying about the teacher nomination thing.</p>
<p>they expect students to be so excited that they got the letter that they immediately label it as a big honor and think they have to go before researching it...fortunately you're alot smarter than that.</p>
<p>but...i could be wrong, you should do further research just to make sure.</p>
<p>It is very fluffy. Extremely fluffy. But everyone I know who's gone has had a good time. You get to meet a lot of new and diverse people. On the other hand, that's what college is for.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input! Well I do know that the nomination part is true because my history teacher told me that he nominated me... but I'm definitely going to have to look into it a bit deeper now, I highly doubt that I'll go though ($3000 for 10 days!).</p>
