Hey guys. I recently got accepted to go to boys nation from a very large boys state. I was just wondering how prestigious such an event is? I’m applying to upenn, cmu and other top tier schools.
Congrats - this is a fairly prestigious event. Boys state carries some prestige - but it is a much bigger deal in some states than others. This is something your top tier schools will be familiar with - it is not a guarantee (nothing except big-time donors are), but it is impressive.
I was an assemblyman at the one of the biggest Boy’s State in the country.
Congrats. Boy’s Nation is among the most coveted spots by many juniors across the country. Only 100 (if I’m not mistaken) are selected across the nation. It shows leadership, passion, and dedication.
Definitely attend. Good luck!
@viphan would you say this award carries as much weight as say a national award or leadership position?
Leadership, most definitely. National awards, it will vary from award to award.
@viphan idk cuz some of the ppl I talked to said this was the equivalent of a national competition award
