UVA Leadership on the Lawn

My rising senior son has his application ready and wants to press send for the UVA Leadership on the Lawn summer program. I’ll admit, I’m totally unfamiliar with the program and don’t know much about UVA (other than the fact that UVA is first rate and very selective in undergrad admissions). He is near the top of his class and will be a NMSF.

Is this a selective program?
The dates conflict with Boys State- which carries more weight on a UVA app (I know, UVA doesn’t use perceived interest, etc. etc.)?
Is acceptance and attendance in this program itself an accolade (without respect to the perceived interest question)?
The deadline is 5/1 with rolling admission- is it too late?

Thanks in advance.
