<p>I have done jrnylc, cylc, pylc (the inauguration), and a state conference</p>
<p>I have learned that they are not very selective but do have some smart kids. The intellectual stuff is dull but you meet fun people and go to cool places.</p>
<p>At the inauguration they had around fifteen thousand (no typo) kids there so it was a mess. However I did get to see the ceremony (they dropped us off like 10 blocks away and said meet back in eight hours on the other side of town) and i saw a lot of good speakers (al gore, desmund tutu, etc.). In the end I would definitely go back even though it cost a ton.</p>
<p>I have not done any of the medicine or law programs so i cannot say if they are more academic.</p>
