<p>Anyone get nominated for student ambassadorships? I got mine to go to Australia this summer! Shall I see any of you there? Thanks!</p>

2

<p>I did, not going.</p>

3

<p>Actually I'm not sure if I got the same thing as you, mine was Holland.</p>

4

<p>Well I know theres different destinations for different age groups.</p>

5

<p>I think a friend of mine was trying to go... I hope she does!!</p>

6

<p>whats people to people?? smthin lk cty bt betteR?? nd how do you get nominated..</p>

7

<p>don't they send that to everyone? i got one and so did all my friends</p>

8

<p>your teachers nominate you. lots of people get nominated but few are accepted after you have an interview and 3 recs.</p>

9

<p>Its to expensive in my opinion.</p>

10

<p>Anyone can nominate you. My son has gotten the sports ambassador invite to ?Austria three years in a row now. I am sure it is a nice experience to visit the country, but he would miss out on some very important high level soccer here. It is very pricey as well. A good opportunity if you can afford it....but don't do the sports one thinking that you will be exposed to an elite experience.</p>

11

<p>mine was to Japan and i got another one for england and france and i also got the other one for sports in Austria</p>

12

<p>how much does it cost? & how long is it ?</p>

<p>i'm assuming it's a summer program ?</p>

13

<p>its a summer program and is quite expensive. my brother got into the one to go all over europe for 30 days and it was over 8000.</p>

14

<p>Basically if you can pay, you can go! They are well run trips, but they have no more cache especially for colege admissions than any other teen travel program.</p>

15

<p>I got nominated, and went to the meeting, but decided not to go a) because its expensive and b) where I live 95% of the people who actually travel are nominated by their parents.
Whoever said that very few who interview get in is wrong, at least for where I live. The lady told me that unless you have some major fault, like being expelled from school or you have all F's, they will make another group to fit everyone in.</p>

<p>yeaa its not very exclusive and on top of that it's expensive</p>
