<p>Decanela, check with your guidance counselors. Some are unaware(!!!) of NAS, especially if you are at a predominantly white high school.</p>
<p>I agree with Shrinkrap about the value of the designation. Your mailbox will be overflowing with brochures and such. Offers of scholarships (with conditions), offers of visits (free) and waivers of application fees are some that I remember.</p>
