<p>I recently received a mail that I was chosen to represent my school for the national student leadership conference.</p>
<p>I just wanna ask how prestigious this is compared to other programs.</p>
<p>bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump bump :)</p>
<p>Do you know very many teenagers who didn’t get such a mailing? I don’t.</p>
<p>This organization would like you to think that you’ve been given a great honor. Really, you’ve been given an opportunity to participate in an expensive summer program. I’m sure it’s a fine program. It’s just not remotely prestigious.</p>
<p>ok, thanks for the repsonse, because im in the middle of applying for another summer camp</p>
<p>If you’re sure you’d like the other thing, I can’t think of a reason to change.</p>

<p>I wasted a lot of time and money on that thing this last summer. They make it sound extremely interesting, and while I don’t know your level of academic accomplishment or exactly how easy your classes are for you, I can tell you that this is basically college padding for rich kids who have some talent but no incentive to do anything else. Probably a little harsh, but I learned exactly zero things when I went. The best it will do is give you an idea of how living in a dorm works…</p>
<p>EDIT: Also, if you don’t mind me asking, what’s the other program you’re applying to? I can try to give you some comparison.</p>
<p>I agree with the members above, I’ve been receiving those letters since about middle school. I think that if you do end up doing the camp though, it’s what you make of it.</p>

<p>I have already been accepted into the Yale Young Global Scholars</p>
<p>I am also in the process of applying for Wharton’s sports business academy</p>
<p>This program does not really interfere with the other two</p>
<p>So I am deciding since spending tons of money :(</p>
