Дамы, у кого дети ездили?
Мы, конечно, будетм звонить и узнавать все, но есть куча вопросов к тем, кто сам ездил уже.

то есть Вы думаете что все уже давно съездили потому что подобное мероприятие нельзя пропустить?

И кто не поехал - тоже интересно! почему решили не ехать?

Question: Is the National Young Leaders Conference Program (NYLC), that includes a six-day visit to Washington D.C. and is sponsored by the Congressional Youth Leadership Council (CYLC), a scam or not? They are asking for a tuition of $1,700, which sounds awfully high.

Most of the students in my orbit praise the National Young Leaders Conference Program (NYLC) and its affiliated programs as being very interesting and well-run. However, these programs are indeed expensive. Many high schoolers think it’s a big honor to be “chosen” and that by putting NYLC on their applications, they’ll get a boost at college-admissions time. But this is simply not true. Too many students are “invited” to take part to make this a truly selective organization, and so many college candidates do take part–especially those from the more well-heeled families–that college-admission officials usually just yawn when they spot NYLC on an application.

The NYLC and similar offerings have been discussed extensively on the College Confidential forum. For instance, see http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/par ... rence.html So check there for advice from students and parents with first-hand experience.

your time and money can be better spent.
