Summer Programs for Teens

To get a higher SAT Score, why else? :D

I have gotten a 2000 on my practice tests. I'm trying to get it up 300 points, and this program has a guarantee that your score will go up at least 200 points. You can check it out here.

is it really worth the money/time to get a small number up?
i got a 2130, and while i'd rather have a 2400, obviously, it's not gonna keep me out of any schools. neither would a 2000. it might HELP, a LITTLE, but i really honestly think that SAT prep classes are just so pointless...

well, sometimes that small number can make a difference, heh.

i'm not sure the hamilton dude was in charge, but i have my doubts about any of the LA/arcadia teachers teaching over there..san diego is a bit far..

of course, but i mean.. with a high 3. something GPA, a hundred points over a 2000 isn't gonna make a big difference in your application to stanford.

well, he moved down from LA. He's white, wears horn rimmed glasses, blondish hair, slightly curly hair, wears a suit to work, deepish voice, mid 30's,...is that Hamilton?

He said he got promoted or something and got the chance to move down to san diego and start a new Elite Center here.

woah, freaky. yeah...glasses, blondish brown hair, dunno about the suit, not that deep voice, probably in his mid 20s...
 
I was invited to the NYLF/TECH too.. I looked at the included information and it looked really lame. They have some conferences and stuff.. but most of the stuff they are going over I already am a master in.. Plus they ship a bunch of geeks out to a beach.. on a bus.. who would want to be associated with that?

I made my final decision when I read the last page and saw the price tag: $2300 or something to that effect. ;)

Yeah, the price is a bit high. I heard the tech one was really fun. And wouldn't you be a geek if you got nominated for the "tech" one?

Of course I'm a geek, but it's not like I want to be shipped to a beach in a bus that says "Geek Patrol!"
