<p>I’ve done four NSLC programs, and two of their middle school ones.
It’s not remotely an “honor”.
I think their GPA cut off is a 3.5… but I’m not even sure about that.
It’s stupidly expensive. And the intellectual stimulation is somewhat minimal.</p>
<p>That being said: I absolutely loved all the programs I did.
It you’re an underclassmen and have little direction as to what you want to do, I think it’s a really good experience to see what a field is like, and dabble in your interests.
Even if you’re not. You get to live on campus for 10 days and do something you enjoy.
I got to earn some college credit, and a much clearer understanding of what I want to do. And of course, some awesome friends.</p>
