<p>Is this worth mentioning in the application or everyone gets this?
Getting this since last two yrs. I have an intuition that this is a spam. Also it asks for 2-3 lakhs. Gives the option of either USA or China...</p>
<p>should I say in my app - "Invited to attend Youth Conference at China and USA."</p>
<p>Hehe…
10 char</p>
<p>Sorry man!!! I am not a CIA agent. I am not able to decipher the extremely complicated code ‘Hehe…’</p>
<p>What should I infer from this??? Yeah or na</p>
<p>harisheena, it all depends on how you got invited for this conference. What did you do to make them invite you? How many people in your school got invited?</p>
<p>I don’t know much about GYLC but there are several such conferences held during summer and to be frank, it is not a big deal. Almost everyone gets “invited”. People who attend such conferences are those who have nothing else to put on their resume AND their parents are willing to burn $3k to $4k for attending + travel. So, it is better to make use of application space to dwell on real achievements.</p>
<p>Thank u Tippu… I wont be listing that in my application… I didn’t do anything to get into this.</p>
<p>Just search CC for GYLC and you will get threads about it. From what I have read, Its a fun experience but by no means worth the money and not even worth listing in your app because many people get it and its not because of your academic or leadership capabilities.</p>
<p>GYLC etc. don’t add to your application at all</p>
<p>thanks for the information everyone…</p>
<p>my brain skipped the idea of searching GYLC on CC… special thanks to here123</p>
<p>Every high school student and his brother gets invited for this conference. It means nothing. Even if you go for it, it still means nothing. Because the conference sucks.</p>
<p>hahaha i got that. i mean, attending the conference isn’t a hook, by any means, but it’s what you learn from it that matters. they do actually offer valuable information/experiences through these types of conferences.</p>
<p>it’s usually just a business for the people who run it</p>
<p>the girl who got into harvard from my school last yr went to that, and the saludatorian from 2009 (at stanford now) went to the program as well. they didn’t do it to put it on their resume, but rather to actually learn from it.</p>
<p>Indians of all flavors are good at beating a dead horse.</p>
<p>They do it for the post count.</p>
<p>Really ?!</p>
<p>^^ That has to be the most depressing thing I’ve ever heard in my life. :P</p>
<p>Well, at least I do.</p>
<p>I like your honest answer blue_box.
BTW, how’s ur intro to programming coming along? Doing anything interesting?</p>
<p>No. =(
They’re doing loops in Javascript right now. Sigh.</p>

<p>-you can’t generalize yo. not everyone does stuff to put it on their resume. a lot of these conferences offer really valuable experiences and that’s why a lot of people go to them. </p>
<p>but, OP, since you’re only interested in padding your resume, then it’s not worth going to.</p>
<p>Beating never ends! Perhaps it is time to resuscitate the poor horse.</p>
<p>u r right bubbles… thanks</p>
<p>tipu - dude i hardly understand what you say nd why you say those stuffs most of the time…
As if those mysteries were solved, the new one came - resuscitate the poor horse…
how did horses came between us…
what beating are you talking about?</p>
<p>lol :)</p>
