<p>hi.. i want to know... i was invited to gylc.. and im international... should i send the invitation with my app?... it is a plus for me??</p>

<p>I doubt it; GYLC's an expensive program that sends out invites based only upon SAT scores or the recommendations of previous participants so I wouldn't think it'd have that much 'prestige' value.</p>
<p>That's not to say that it isn't a worthwhile program if you decide to go for it.</p>
<p>Haha - no. Don't send it along. Colleges will seriously laugh at you. Your FRIENDS nominate you. As ^ said, very little prestige.</p>
<p>however, I do know that the people who have gone have enjoyed it - but it isn't really an academic experience I think... pretty sure it's more fluffy.</p>
<p>This is the same as the People to People program that keeps on flooding my mailbox, beginning from freshman year.</p>
<p>If you have the resources for the program and would enjoy a fun summer, go for it.</p>
<p>Otherwise, it's not a very academically prestigious program. A general rule of thumb to keep in mind is that highly selective programs generally already have a very large applicant pool (RSI, TASP) and does not need to send out recruitment letters in large batches.</p>
<p>i think everyone gets one of these letters so prestige ain't that high:)</p>
