So I got this letter in the mail last weekend from the NSLC, saying that based on my PSAT scores and GPA, I'm invited to represent my state at a summer-camp type thing in a field of my choice (they offered things like medicine, engineering, international politics). I was wondering if this is a legitimate organization? you always hear about scams like this and all. i did a bit of online reasearch and what i got was on both ends of the spectrum; a couple 'omg this changed my life' statements and a couple 'dont waste your money and time' people too. so my question is, did other FIRSTies get invited to this and am i just being paranoid? their website is
http://www.nslcleaders.org/ also, if i didn't do this, what other summer enrichment programs are out there? i know about stanford's EPGY and carnegie mellon's thing. how many people are going to those? thanks a bunch
