Hearst Foundations US Senate Youth Program vs. Senate Page Program?

<p>I applied for both anticipating to get MAYBE one or the other. I was just notified that I won USSYP for my state and I was going to go ahead and confirm my attendance until I called my senator's office and found out that I'm one of two applicants for the page position.</p>

<p>If I get accepted as a page, would I be able to still participate in the Senate youth program? If not, which should I choose??? I love the idea of all of the influential people you can meet through the youth program, but I'm really excited by the idea of spending an entire semester working for the Senate. Then again, to become a senate page I would need to figure out how to take the ACT in D.C., tie up loose ends with my extracurriculars and drop 4 AP courses.</p>
