I live in Virginia, and this summer I was going to spend a month at a summer residential governor’s school… however, much to my dismay, somebody else from my school beat me out to it. Now I am going to a two week program at my community college but I was looking for something else to accompany it. I stumbled upon the Blueprint programs and I applied for a scholarship, because money is a limiting factor with some summer programs.

I won $500, and now I don’t know if I should go or not. Do many people win this? Has anyone else had a good experience from this program? Does it really look good to colleges (William and Mary, UVA, Georgetown)? And if it helps I plan to major in pol. science and I have a love for humanities.
