Willieh Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Okay so I'm in a small predicament. Or a big predicament. Or whatever size predicament you see it as being on your scale of predicaments. Okay so earlier today I went out to get the mail and got this message from these people called the "Ambassador Students Program". It had my name on it (kevin shealy) so I opened it up. And when I read the message I was like WTF??? It said that I was invited to do studies over the summer of 2009 in England, France, and the Netherlands. :O I live in the U.S. and have actually never been outside of the U.S. So I was stoked. But then I considered the fact that it could have been fake. Turns out it was legitament. But then I thought about how much it might cost, and figured that it would be at least in the thousands. So I guess my question is one asking for advice. First; have any of you been in this program? And second; If so how much did it cost, or how much do you think it would cost? And would it be worth it? (I was actually debating on whether or not I should post this. So...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Metal Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Lol my grades were crap too. Apparently a teacher of mine reccommended me. I passed my second year of ninth grade with a 1.0 GPA ^_^...the only subject I did good in was science (Biology to be exact) because I already knew half the stuff :P I Congratulate You Willieh! If it is indeed authentic, go for it, you have a year to save up if it isn't pre-paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

「tea.leaf」 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I think this is one of those programs where you pretty much "buy" yourself an award. You get interviewed, send in your letters, pay your checks, go on a tour, and you've got yourself a nice piece of card stock with shiny lettering that somehow justifies you've done something special. Do it if you want, it's a good experience nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a program where they take the GT teachers and have them recommend some of their students. The people who go on these trips get a sheet load of college credit. :| I'm not sure if I will have enough money at the time of the trip though >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
