<p>I doubt most kids in our area would think that. In fact, most kids around here, especially these days, only apply in state. Our top state schools (in Virginia) are pretty tough to get into, though, so I was sort of thinking that it would give an emotional boost to at least a few kids who are pretty worried about where they will get in to college. And, even though the awards are not super significant, many kids have nothing to put in the “Honors & Awards” section of their application & it would be nice to have even some of them not stare at a big white space there.</p>
<p>Thanks to those who have given me some info to pursue in this. Still looking for more, of course!</p>
