<p>Will mentioning YYGS (Yale Young Global Scholars) on an application of university other than Yale hurt my chances? How do I mention it in the things I did the last summer?
Also, I got an aid to attend the session, so should I mention the scholarship (or aid) thing while writing something about YYGS?</p>
<p>It won’t hurt your apps to other colleges. That’s unwarranted paranoia. How to mention it? List the title and a one sentence synopsis. No need to mention scholarship/aid</p>
<p>My D listed the Brown Summer Program when she applied to Yale. I don’t think it will make a difference. The school will not be offended, many kids that apply to top tier schools attend many of the same top tier summer and school year programs.</p>
<p>YYGS is somewhat selective in admissions (iirc, they accept ~20%). It might somewhat help your app to other schools, but surely will not hurt. Mentioning aid is unnecessary.</p>
