My son is a freshman at Biotech High School, and he's liking it a lot and doing well. He took the PSATs and also scored well.
We are getting inundated with mail from various colleges for summer programs and we got a very impressive looking invitation to pay several thousands of dollars to go to American University this summer to attend the National Student Leadership Conference.
I looked this organization up, and there seem to be a lot of these send fancy invitations to thousands of students and they make a lot of money on such conferences.
Are any particular summer conferences or organizations worthwhile? Many years ago, it was considered a good move to go to NJ Boys State, and I see that program is still active, but it is only for high school juniors.
