[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s still very competitive and prestigious for international students.

For affluent domestic students, I don’t think it’s typically going to move the needle at any of the top colleges they’re targeting as it’s kind of pay to play. But it won’t hurt and might help at need aware schools or if you distinguish yourself at program. For a lower income student receiving financial aid, I’d definitely go for it. [/quote]

Interesting that a friend's kid reported its 50% US private HS kids[/quote]

I wouldn’t trust this friend of a friend’s advice. My public school DC went last summer. DC’s suite had only one other US student. It was a great experience, and they are going to Yale next year. Only one suitemate is applying to Yale RD. The others ED’d at different ivies or have one more year of school left.

That said, I’m confident the applications they brought to YYGS meant they were well prepared for their college applications even without this activity. The acceptance rate just means that you get to attend with peers who are equally as motivated to be there. [/quote]
