<p>Hi, I received a lot of mails from leadership and opportunity programs such as "Lead America: Youth Leadership Conferences" and "Presidential Classroom". I'm wondering if anyone has participated in these programs or have any knowledge about them at all. Thanks.</p>
<p>I got those too! I really want to learn about them thanks for posting this</p>
<p>They dont make a sig diff in admissions do it if you have extra money and a free summer</p>
<p>They are good experiences and all but generally perceived as resume-padders. If you have something better to do with your time - like, say, get a job - do that instead. If you really want to spend that much money on a couple weeks over the summer, it's better than doing nothing.</p>
