<p>I was nominated for the past two years, but went to a similar program. I can say that they are definitely good experiences, but it sounds like you’re looking for something with a great deal of prestige and since these programs are through private organizations, they aren’t held directly through the “top universities” and I’m not sure how much weight they carry in having interest in those schools. That’s pretty much all of my input, but I’m sure there are better programs out there only I can’t suggest one for you in engineering/robotics.</p>
