I got a letter and certificate from this “academy”, it costs about 2000 dollars (with added airfare) to Boston when I live in Houston Texas. It is expensive and I don’t think its worth it. Seems like a scam but not sure, thoughts?
I got in in the mail with a letter addressed to me, not my parents, with a certificate of nomination, and some basic info. If you search it up online the website seems legit but not sure. Real or fake?
Will it actually look good on my college apps or is it a ply that colleges know about to milk you for money?
There is a number of similar programs. Not exactly fake, but definitely a way to get your money and give little in return.
I would ignore it (along with the piles of ads from universities that you are probably getting right now). That is what recycle bins are for.
