<p>Is this even necessary? It is global and I don't even know how many canadians were nominated, all I know is only around 15 attended last year. I'm not sure if I can even afford to attend, but should I tell them I was nominated? Is even being nominated a big deal? Ps I'm talking about ivies and ucb and ucla and nyu. Thank you :)</p>
<p>Nope, it’s not a big deal. I don’t think it’s worth it to email your colleges.</p>
<p>I got nominated last year and actually attended it during Summer '08. Definitely the best summer of my life. But a lot of people are nominated so it’s not as prestigious as it sounds like. I actually got nominated this year again. I don’t think they know I went last year. :p</p>
<p>Okay thank you! They make it sound so prestigious in the letter! Haha well if I decide to go I’ll let them know I guess</p>
<p>Go anyways. 
All of us who attended the session (and my friends who attended the other sessions) had fun. It’s definitely a great experience and I still miss it even though it’s been 6-7 months.</p>
<p>I know i’d love to but my family can’t afford it 
hey did you get your first choice week when you registered? And did you register right after you got the package</p>
<p>Yeah most high school students with decent grades get nominated. I just received their nomination in the mail. No biggy.</p>
<p>Now if you get nominated to play for your national soccer team, that’s a different story.</p>
