<p>I have no clue why every year I get these letters from the NLSC. Am I actually special or this is just some advertising scam trying to waste your money?</p>
<p>It seems like everyone recieves them.</p>
<p>Any comments would help.</p>
<p>i got the letter too. LOL the deadline was may 6th…yesterday, i looked at the info packet and decided i wanted to go.</p>
<p>fooey</p>
<p>NSLC probably gets on everyone’s mailing lists because of the little box you check on the PSAT to receive the stuff. NSLC stuffs everyones mail boxes not to mention inboxes. I don’t really know from experience, but NSLC probably isn’t a scam, but it isn’t highly selective.</p>
<p>NSLC is a leadership summer program type thing. It’s not anything that’s going to boost your application, nor is it anything ultra selective. (As the person stated above.) However, the people I know that have gone (I’m going to Chicago for Inside the Arts this summer…) had a blast, made some lifelong friends, and learned a whole lot about whatever subject they went for (a couple went for law, others went for international diplomacy). It is kind of expensive, but you can pay in installments. It’s not a scam. And yes, most people do get the letter.</p>
<p>The friendship thing happens at most camps.</p>
<p>Everybody (and I’m not kidding… ) gets this.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>NLSC? Never heard of it. SCLC = Southern Christian Leadership Conference!</p>
<p>Haha, I’m pretty sure Martin Luther King did not go to NLSC, but that would be really funny.</p>
<p>I know a lot of people who i have gone and they said it was worth the money, (i’m going in like in 3 weeks for engineering), they said it was full of intelligent people but not like like one clique, many different people. It is suppose to show you more about an area that you want to pursue and allows you to meet people who can help you in the future, such professors, big people, and allows you to be out of the house for 2 weeks.</p>
<p>It’s worth the money, in my opinion. I had a really fun time, it definitely affected how I thought of the world and of other people, it just generally made me a more mature and outgoing person.</p>
<p>I mean you can sit in your room and sulk for all 10 days or whatever it is, or you can make the must of it and really learn a lot.</p>
