Hey everyone! I am currently in the process of writing the application, and just wanted to get to know others out there who are currently working on it. 
Hey + Happy New Year! After finding out about the program yesterday, it’s really got me hooked and I started writing my application today.
Has anyone attended Applied Science & Engineering and what was the experience like?
haven’t started the application yet but will as soon as I finish the one I’m currently working on… After one of my friends attended this past summer I was hooked on the program so i’ll be applying to the biomed session and am excited to meet new people! granted i’m accepted lol
i know they added 3 extra sessions this year so the acceptance rate is going to skyrocket
good luck everyone!
Hello guys!
I’m applying to the Economics, Politics and Law ,( I’m not sure if it’s in that order), session and I am really looking forward to attending! I am very interested in politics and economics and I think I want to be an economist, ( as for law I could take it or leave it), has anyone else hear attended this session?
Is Technology, Innovation & Entrepreneurship program worth it? How is it in comparison to MIT Launch?
Hey. I’m applying to IAS. I still haven’t done my essays so …hopefully the acceptance rate will increase.
@encadyma applied science is a new session so nobody’s done it before
@ahmeda14960 a friend did PLE last summer and said she had a better time meeting new people, the instructors, etc than the actual seminars. There were better lectures than others, but overall she said it was insightful and she got to meet some cool people
Do they do rolling admissions at YYGS?
Hey guys I was just wondering if I can apply to 2 programs at the same time at YYGS? Either one is okay for me.
@ahmed14960 no its not rolling. I think decisions come out in April. As for the ple session I also know sm 1who did Iit and she said it was gr8. The academics are quite rigorous.
I’m going for Applied Science and Engineering.@encadyma You going for ASE too?
Just started my application last week! I’ll be applying for IAS and PLE. Good luck to everyone applying for 2016!
I saw on their website that the median SAT score is 2250… should I be worried? I got 2160.
Does anyone know how big a role SAT scores play in admissions
Why did the discussion stop we were having fun. :\
I’m looking to apply but I might wait until next year as I’m still a bit unsure. Looking to go into BBS or PLE
Question for everybody: I’ve been putting together my application and was wondering what portions of the application do they look at / consider the most?
I would think standardized tests scores and essays. Grade can very from high school to high school and i dont think theyll put too much weight on extracurriculars ( unless you have something major, like USABO)
Also how selective is this program? Is it viewed as a hook for the college app?
@sportskid1212 it’s definitely not a hook for college apps. admissions focuses mostly on the essay and community involvement, so extra-curriculars/resume are critical.
i did it last summer so let me know if anyone has any questions about the program or with apps, i’m happy to help! i loved it btw, it’s definitely worth doing
