<p>if im looking for a carreer in science, which governor's school would be best to apply to?</p>
<p>Governor's School for the Humanities, at the University of Richmond
Governor's School for the Visual and Performing Arts, at the University of Richmond
Governor's School for Mathematics, Science, and Technology, at Lynchburg College
Governor's School Mentorships in Engineering and Marine Science, at NASA's Langley Research Center
Governor's School for Agriculture, at Virginia Tech </p>
<p>hmm....bump!</p>
<p>Governor's School for Mathematics, Science, and Technology, at Lynchburg College</p>
<p>Governor's School Mentorships in Engineering and Marine Science, at NASA's Langley Research Center</p>
<p>Governor's School for Agriculture, at Virginia Tech </p>
<p>Obviously the first two, though the second one is a very specific field of science. </p>
<p>The third one is actually also science-related. I heard from my friend who went for agriculture that, you go into some genetics stuff...</p>
<p>I actually went to the Gov School for Ag this year at VT and I can safely say that it's an amazing experience. As far as I can tell, it's a bit more hands-on than other Gov Schools. When we visited (for college night) the Gov School at Lynchburg (for Math, Science, & Tech), it seemed like most of the people weren't really enjoying it - they have a class in the morning (some people openly admitted to doing absolutely nothing during class) and then have the rest of the afternoon to do... anything? We were kept quite a bit busier at VT, with classes and an ongoing group project. If you're considering going into any science field, I think that Ag Gov School can you something. You get to choose a "major," so that can be a way to focus on your interests.
If you'd like to know more, feel free to ask! I'm happy to answer questions.</p>
<p>^ Thanks ditto! I heard that agriculture was really good. here are some questions though:</p>
<p>-Is it really competitive to get into? (Like do you know how many kids are chosen?)
-Which majors can you choose from?
-What else besides science do you do there? Like do they have any leadership activities?</p>
<p>I'm not 100% sure, but I think agriculture admits the same amount of people as any other subjects. At my school, agriculture was not so popular, so the only 2 people that applied both got in.</p>
<p>Really?! Well thanks. (:</p>
