<p>Does anyone know about SAMS in Carneige Melon? It's free and seems selective, but not many people recommend it. how's that? Thanks!</p>

<p>Foundation for Teaching Economics</p>

383

<p>I don't think prestige is the biggest factor on the college application, rather what you gained from your experience is what matters. Everyone has a different experience and learn various things from the programs they attended and colleges recognize this. Of course some programs are more selective than others, but if you can share your experience in-depth, you should be fine.</p>

<p>WAIT. why is CTY bad for your application. what if you apply for financial aid or something. (that doesnt really show that your rich). i was going to apply. but im not sure, and does anyone know who teaches these programs. it better be the actual professors from the universities.</p>

385

<p>CTY definitely has financial aid, and that should be well known to college admission officers. CTY courses are not necessarily taught by professors from famous universities.</p>

386

<p>heard of GYLC? (Global Youth Leaders Conference) i'm not sure if it's any prestigious/selective</p>

396

<p>What kinds of things should I look into if I am geared towards journalism/writing? I want to go to the Asian-American Journalism Camp in Boston this summer, although I don't know how "prestigious" it is -- does anybody know about this? Or any other programs I should look into?</p>
