<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I just got this invite to GYLC. It looks pretty professional, but I was wondering how selective GYLC really is. Is this one of those things almost every above average student gets or is it actually hard to get an invite.</p>
<p>Also, for those of you who have gone, is it worth it to go, and how do colleges look at it?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>No, it isn't really selective. You have to be nominated, but teachers can nominate whoever they think would be interested, regardless of acadmic performance. That being said, I attended a GYLC before my senior year, and I really enjoyed it. I went to the one in Europe (Vienna, Budapest, Prague) and heard a lot of interesting talks about the EU, saw a lot of Europe, and met some really cool people. I'm very glad that I went.</p>
