PHEW! That is a LOOONG NAME!
I got a fancy letter from The National Dean's List. They pretty much said because of my academic acheivement and commitment to a career in medicine, I have "been nominated to serve as a collegiate scholar in the 2006 International Scholar Laureate Program Delegation on Medicine."
They buff up the letter by saying I got really good grades, volunteer work, bla bla bla, this experience will help me get into med school & pursue a career in medicine.
A group of American college students stay in Australia, China or South Africa for 13 days for lectures, hands-on experience, culture, etc..
It's whooping $4,600 to join (includes air fare, food, shelter, etc)!
It seems to me like this is just some type of business trying to make some money. However, their opportunities sound interesting.
What do you guys think? has anyone done this..? Is it worth the money ?? I am originally from South Africa so it would be awesome to go back.
