<p>My daughter was nominated to apply for the NYFL in Medicine. Is this a prestigious organization or just another thinly veiled "leadership" company that costs a bunch of money? Is it impressive to have done this for admissions committees to see on your resume?
Thanks</p>
<p>its not really prestigious, its quite common to get and i wouldnt do it to further one's application but rather just to go because u have an interest in medicine. it does cost a lot of money and i dont think colleges really care, but if you're looking for the experience it offers then theres no problem w ith that</p>
<p>almost everyone I know got nominated AND made it in if they were willing to pay.</p>
<p>Don't think it's very prestigious, but my friend went for Medicine, and he really enjoyed his experience.</p>
<p>i have wondered the same thing. i think it just all really depends. like it you plan on doing something with premed, take a lot of science classes (bio and anatomy), then yes this will give you that extra boost because it shows that you are serious and have interest in your intended field.</p>
<p>i hope that makes sense</p>
<p>Best two weeks of my life. It's been two years and I'm still very close with many of the friends I made. Don't let it pass. I put it on my apps but I didn't go for that.</p>
<p>It's not that impressive on an application.</p>
<p>If you want application filler, don't. If you're genuinely interested in what the field you are pursuing looks like, or want to meet new people, then go for it.</p>
