<p>Thanks raul 001, I agree with you 100%. My miiddle school teacher first nominated me and I felt honored that he singled me out. I traveled with P2P while in middle school to Washington DC and in high school to New Zealand, Australia and Japan. Yes, the program is in fact expensive and may be offered to more students then advertised however, my experience was very enriching and EDUCATIONAL. It also aided me in my AP History studies. The majority of the students that I traveled with were top in their class which only added to the intellectual stimulation. In addition to having an interview, providing an essay and recommendations, all participants are required to attend 6 weeks of informative meetings.
So, although it may not “boost” ones college admissions chances it sure enhanced my knowledge of how other cultures live and enabled me to write better supplemental admission essays.<br>
allivy, it may not be considered “an honor” as selection is in other so called exclusive programs but it certainly was an honor to have such incredible experiences and meet so many great people.</p>
<p>Further, it is NOT merely a summer camp!</p>
