Yale Young Global Scholars Program 2016 Discussion

@gdpast323 thanks!

Hey everyone! If any of you guys have updates make sure to post! I am still waiting for a decision on the waiting list for BBS, but I am hoping to hear something this week.

I am on waitlist for BBS… still awaiting for a decision. Keeping fingers crossed.

Congrats to all who got selected for YYGS and moved off the Waitlist. Question… is there still a chance to move off the waitlist?

@obiga99 I hope we get off!! And yes there is a chance, admission offers will be sent anytime whenever a space becomes available, so it all depends on who decides not to go.

@aspiringyouth @obiga99 though I do think there’s much less of a chance now. Many spaces all opened at once last week (after the reply deadline) and now it’s just one by one, as a student randomly discovers that he/she can’t attend. Unless they’re not done with the first cycle get. There’s the chance that they’re doing it by session, because so far, on cc at least, people have only been getting off TIE, PLE, IAS, and BBS waitlists, and I havent yet seen anybody get off the ASE or SEE waitlists, so it’s possible they haven’t gotten to the other sessions yet. But I kind of doubt that… So lessened chances, I would think :confused:

Honestly, a lot of it has to do if you are willing to commit for a chance of being accepted. I know that staying on the wait list can be super stressful at times and sort of cause you to feel hopeless, but you never know. I think that if it doesn’t happen for us this year, then it just was not meant to be. I definitely want to apply for YYGS Junior year if I don’t get in this year, but I am not even sure if I will be able to do it next year because I might get involved in other activities that also provide an enriching learning experience.

@aspiringyouth - right said. For me this is last attempt at YYGS. I move on. I am from India BTW. So off to writing MBBS entrance exams next year, and other activities I love doing. I might not apply for Yale again. But you never know what’s in store.

Does anyone know if getting a gym membership is worth it? I’ll be in the TIE program at Jonathan Edwards College. Is it convenient to go, is there even any time to workout during the busy program? Any info would be appreciated thanks

anyone going from GA?

i’m also in tie and wondering the same! @26443586

also in tie!! can’t wait to meet you! @26443586 @trynagetthere

Seminar choices are out!

@JennyCov where?!

Hey everyone! I’m still here on the wait list. Honestly I don’t think that I will be accepted this year. :frowning:
Once you guys complete YYGS, please talk about your experiences here etc… !

I got an email from them today about it–I had to do everything using the email because it wasn’t on the portal online @gdpast323

@JennyCov ahh I see. I haven’t gotten anything but maybe just because different sessions? I’m so excited to see the seminar choices haha. have fun with yours! :slight_smile:

@aspiringyouth hey, good luck! you might still have a chance and if not, good luck next year if you’re applying! :slight_smile:

@gdpast323 Thanks! :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Is the YYGS website/link working for anyone?
