Well I went to NJ Boys’ State and I put it on my application, and I think it’s sort of valuable considering that only eight kids from out school are selected to go, and it’s a generally recognized program by colleges and since you don’t have to pay you know it’s not a “scam” program [I use scam lightly because it depends on how much you obtained from this program though they really don’t demonstrate much on an application], but yeah, I mean it was always good when I had to share on an application what I had done the previous summer, and I could be like, Look I was active, so I guess it also works in that respect. But overall I think it’s just one of those nice things to have, though if you made it to Boys’ Nation or you were governor at Boys’ State then that’s definitely something to brag about. Personally, I had only been an EBO so it was really worth mentioning, but I hope you enjoyed your experinece because I sort of hated it, but oh well it’s been done for over a year now.
