Boston Leadership Institute

Hello all,

My high school daughter has just been accepted into a 3 week science summer program at Boston Leadership Institute. she found the program on one of the general college websites. However, we (her parents) have never heard of this particular program. Before we spend thousands of dollars for this, it would be great to hear feedback from anyone who has attended. We googled the program, and read mixed reviews. Is anyone familiar with this program? Thanks.

Sue

Dd15 has received several big pretty packages from different summer leadership conferences after taking the PSAT's. I have two older kids, and they've received them also. Apparently they are all similar, like the people to people programs, for profit companies that put together pricey experiences for kids.

Yep, our children have each received them when they've taken the PSATs, we've never done any of them because they costs are so high.
