<p>This program in my opinion does not mean anything. A lot of kids get the same letter around the nations and several in your school will receive the same letter too. The thing that you need to say to yourself is"will I get any benefit by spending tons of money." Most of the time the answer will be no. Now, the benefits that you said are really not that great. If you get a recommendation, it maybe just 3 sentences long and not even worth the effort to send to colleges. I myself did receive a letter from them about this program and I threw it away.</p>
