<p>see the thing is - the research thing i hardly had to do anything for it - i finished the app in one night - took bout 3-4 hrs</p>
<p>for my governor's school - i had 2 sets of interviews with 2 tests - and also another school tests - so i worked harder for this</p>
<p>but then the research thing sounds better</p>
<p>What's the name of your research program? If it has a big name then you should definitely go for it. And if you are getting it for free b/c of financial aid not b/c the program itself is for free then I would suggest go for the governors.</p>
<p>After looking at the website, if I were you, I'd have preferred to stay in GA, and spend some glorious time w/ the family. (but again, the decision is so subjective at this point! :D)</p>
