<p>Okay, so I'm trying to go to the Media and Journalism one in New York City (Columbia University) this summer and I would just like to hear some experiences of previous members of this program and how you would rate it on the 1-10 scale</p>
<p>I attended the CSI Conference last summer at San Diego State.</p>
<p>I'd give it a 20. Seriously...it was an AMAZING experience. THe people are incredible, and all the team leaders are so great. Absolutely go...feel free to PM me with any questions. :)</p>
<p>The program is very low in selectivity. However, that doesn't mean that its a bad experience.</p>
<p>My son did a LEAD America program and thought it was a total waste of time. Its very expensive and he got nothing out of it. Its just a money making machine.</p>
<p>my s did it at Johns Hopkin for law and loved it. He came back more determined to get good grades b/c he wanted to go away to college...freedom from folks is a big motivator</p>
<p>neuromom-your son obviously went for the wrong reasons. It's not a program you go to because it looks good on applications. It's a program you go to to have a good time and learn about your subject.</p>
