how prestigious is boys state / girls state?

<p>cool thats what i was thinking, i went to mo boys state, (live in ks school in mo) and i think it was like 973, 3rd biggest in the nation they said</p>

<p>wait... so is it prestigious or not?</p>

<p>If you get state in anything (sports, arts, science competitions, ec.) you should pt it on your app.</p>

<p>i just put boys state in the additional info section</p>

<p>I was at Boys' State this year for California -- there were some 950 boys. </p>

<p>It is not an extracurricular. An EC is something you do habitually; Boys'/Girls' State is something you attend once. But since you were chosen for it, you would put that under 'honors/awards.' You might discuss it in an essay, or mention it in passing, or make an entire essay topic out of something you learned at it.</p>

<p>Yes, it's "worthy" of including...</p>

<p>in new york there is about 1,100 kids that attend.</p>
