Hi, it's me again.

I recently received a letter from Lead America inviting me to go to a ten day conference. I REALLY want to go, but there are always several things to consider, right?

One, the whole thing is around $2000 and that is a little bit too much than I wanted.

Two, I am right now a freshman, and I don't really know if it helps me to get into a good college (like Stanford). Is this "chance of a lifetime"? Will they not invite me next year if I don't go this year?

Three, how good is this program really? It sounds awesome but I would like some more opinions.

And the same thing with the COSMOS from UC, which one should I go when these aspects are considered.

:) I need advices, quick!
