Hey CC! I’m pretty new here, so let’s try this out.
I’m a rising sophomore in high school and I’m interested in a career in either science or public service. I’ve always been interested in politics, and when I heard about the senate page program I pretty much fell in love with the idea of spending a month in DC, and I’ve heard great things about it. I’m already shaping my resume to get accepted for next year’s summer session 2!
But then I heard about the USSYP, and it sounds amazing too! I love the idea of meeting other politically interested teens and getting to meet all those high up government officials. It sounds almost less competitive in a way? But I’m sad it’s not as long, it’s only a week. I’m currently leaning towards the Page program, but I’m not sure which one I should do, or should I do both? Could some alumni/people that have applied/just anyone give me some advice? Thanks!
