YYGS or COSMOS?

I was accepted to YYGS ASE III (which I am ecstatic about!) and it happens in mid July, 2020. The enrolment deadline in January 9 whereas the COSMOS application doesn’t open until January 6. I’d like to attend the machine learning cluster (cluster 2) in UC Irvine, but it’ll probably be more competitive than the other clusters.

So I was wondering, for all you YYGS and/or COSMOS alumni, which program would you guys prefer? As much detail as possible would be appreciated, thank you!!

Btw I forgot to add, the date for COSMOS also overlaps with YYGS so I’ll only be able to attend either one or the other IF I get accepted to COSMOS (which seems unlikely given how competitive it is!).

COSMOS was amazing! I attended the Biomedical one at Davis last summer. It was the most life-changing experience for me. AND…I am also planning to attend PLE I hahah. Although I cannot compare these two, I would definitely recommend COSMOS to you.

Thank you so much! Hmm, I think I’ll just attend YYGS in case I don’t get in to COSMOS, but I might as well apply to see if I get accepted…
