Yale Young Global Scholars (YYGS) 2019

Ok thank you all for the reply. My son Is in session 1.

hi guys! i’m new to this forum but i was wondering if there’s a chat/fb group for BBS ?

Yes there is! If you check your the letter on the application portal that was sent to you after you paid your deposit, there will be a link in there that leads you to the Facebook group.

Hi! I’m also looking for chat/groups, anyone know about one for PLE II?

Hi!! is there a chat/fb group for FST??

Hey guys, I got off the waitlist but declined admission because I am attending another summer program. Please let me know if you have any questions about my stats and my essays, I am happy to help.

Hi all, My S got off waitlist. His college majors would be in computer science, math or physics related. His main interest is ASE session but there is no opening. As a second choice, between SEDE and Bio/PreMed, which one is a better fit?

Hello, I know this thread is no longer active, but for the people who got in (perhaps specifically to PLE), did anyone else have their capstone and seminars changed?

I applied last year as a sophomore… and got in. However, I rejected the offer simply because $6k for 2 weeks seemed like an overpriced summer camp… and there are literally hundreds that go to the program. Did I make a mistake by not going? It seems like people here are really competitive but still worried about not getting in so the admissions must’ve been competitive I guess…

@tchit87 Likely not, but it depends on why you applied to YYGS in the first place. The two main reasons to apply are believing it gives a significant boost in college apps or wanting to really dive deep into a subject you love. YYGS may be somewhat competitive, but it probably won’t get any of us into any specific college or even give us a huge boost in admissions. And while YYGS is a great educational opportunity (or at least I hope it will be), if you can’t afford it, it definitely isn’t worth it.

Do you remember the essay prompts?

@KshitijD101 @AJ57893What were your stats?

Hello! Wondering if the Beijing session will be offered for 2020 Yale Young Global Scholars? The website currently does not make any mention of it.

Can you please share your essay with me!!! I’m applying to YYGS this year, and I think they have a different prompt this year but I would still love to read them.
