When do decisions come out again?
End of April I believe
Hi all,
Iām a current scholar (2025 cohort; admitted last year) and I have some news to share with yaāll concerning the program.
I was informed by my Thrive counselor that this year, due to increased funding, the program will admit around 180 students (twice the amount of students as last year). So expect a relatively good chance at being admitted if you made it to the 2nd round.
This program was absolutely worth it as Iāve been admitted to great schools so far and I hope you all are admitted. Feel free to reach out and good luck :))

This is great news, thank you for sharing! By any chance, could you ask your counselor for the exact date decisions will be out? Or if you know already, could you please share the date?
Thanks
Unfortunately, my counselor didnāt provide an exact set date, but she did say they expect to release decisions by the end of April (plan for the 3rd week of April as the earliest and the last week of April as latest). Last year, we werenāt given an exact date either, so its just how it goes.
Good Luck!

I am not sure, but last year there were 900-1000 applicants overall and 90ish were admitted in the end. So this year, the chances should be somewhat better. Sorry that I canāt give any specifics, Thrive never releases those stats.

okay so i applied to thrive scholars, yygs, and qbcps this year and obviously since iām replying here, iām a finalist for thrive. i have a question about just what exactly this program entailsādoes it give a full ride scholarship or an increased chance of being matched with desired schools? i submitted my QBCPS application a week ago so i have yet to find out for that (i think decisions for that should come out around the same time decisions for thrive come outāhopefully i have a fair shot at both, fingers crossed). i got accepted with basically a full-ride scholarship to yygs, and i was wondering if i would be able to thrive at the same time as yygs (itās virtual this year) since thrive is a two-summer long program, and if i would have to make accommodations? i already said yes to yygs since it was due in early march! any replies are appreciated! good luck to all finalists :)) <33
My suggestion is to wait and see if you have been selected for Thrive. In the meantime, really comb through their website and YouTube videos to get a thorough understanding of their program.
I donāt think youāll be able to attend both, so maybe start thinking about which one you like more. If you end up getting accepted into both then be sure to run it by both Thrive and YYGS, but I doubt either of them will be cool with concurrent enrollment so youāll probably end up having to decide.
