[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Participated in the 90's and it was the highlight of my HS experience. So glad it's still going! Perhaps not a huge college plus outside of VA but definitely great for in-state chances.[/quote] I also participated in the 90s (one of the foreign language academies - I don’t recall them having all those other programs at the time, I think most are newer). For me, it was my first real language immersion experience and really pushed me into a new level of language expertise, surely helped me get a 5 on AP exam in that language, and probably helped me get into UVA. At the time (and surely now) it was very competitive and drew from all across the state. I also recall that of the 60 kids who went my summer at least 20 ended up enrolling at UVA (including me) so I see that as evidence that the state schools must look favorably on the experience and want to keep their high performers in state.[/quote]
