I was recently named the distinguished young women of (my state) and I was wondering if anyone who has applied to Harvard in the past has ever participated/ won a title in DYW and their opinions on the weight/merit of this program and how much it boosts my application/ chances of admission.
Congratulations! Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Admissions considers this a prestigious award. It’s certainly not like Intel, Google or Siemens: http://distinguishedyw.org/programs/
