<p>I've applied for the Student Conservation Association, (Timeline</a> | The Student Conservation Association) but my parents disapprove of it. They say it's not 'prestigious' enough, and a waste of my time. If I don't go, I'll have more time to work on SAT prep and writing. However, I think that I'll benefit from this opportunity, regardless of how many applicants are accepted (75,000 were accepted last year) However, I don't know what colleges will think if they see this on my application.</p>
<p>If you've heard of/been to this program, please share your opinion. Right now I'm trying to make a decision on whether to withdraw my application or not. Thank you.</p>
