when to go to ilc

If i make top 3 on my event should i go to ilc anyways? I made 3rd at slc and went to ilc this year, but I didn’t even pass round 1 for my event. I don’t think my parents will be willing to pay for the trip if I don’t even get top 10

Healthcare/public policy opportunity

Hi everyone!! I lead an initiative for patients with chronic illnesses or other barriers (ex: language) to help them better understand healthcare, and was wondering if anyone would like to join as a part of our national youth council! Your role would be to draft policy letters on bills on healthcare policy, conduct research and surveys, assist in writing monthly articles to be published on the website, or provide any patient perspectives (personal, family, interviews, etc.). All will be published under your name on our nonprofits website and insta. No experience is needed, and roles would be assigned via email at the beginning of each month, depending on your preference. The workload would not be heavy, but the impact will! If you are interested, please let me know.
