[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD participated in Yale Young Global Scholars a few summers ago and loved it. She is at Yale now. Several of her friends from that program are also at Yale. Many others are at HYPS and highly-ranked LACs. I'm not saying that YYGS is the reason for these college results and I would never recommend that someone participate in YYGS or any other college summer program in the hopes of getting in. However, these results do suggest that highly-selective institutions don't look down on YYGS. I agree that YYGS is better for humanities-focused high school students than it is for STEM kids.[/quote] Keep in mind that the dorms at Yale don't have A/C. It is awfully hot and humid in New Haven. My DC stayed in Pierson for YYGS. Other programs are more prestigious-the free, extremely selective ones. But YYGS was great and my kid enjoyed it a lot. Chose to go to HPS for college though.
