As a "normal" high school student who was fortunate enough to be accepted into the Yale Young Global Scholars (YYGS) program, I've learned a thing or two about what it takes to secure a spot in a top-level summer program. Here's some valuable insight I've gained along the way 👇 1️⃣ Start Early: Research and identify the programs that align with your interests and goals. Many prestigious programs have early application deadlines, so don't procrastinate! 2️⃣ Showcase Your Passion: Whether it's STEM, humanities, or the arts, demonstrate your genuine enthusiasm for your chosen field in your application essays and interviews. 3️⃣ Stand Out Academically: Strive for excellence in your coursework and maintain a strong GPA. Academic achievements often play a significant role in the selection process. 4️⃣ Pursue Extracurriculars: Engage in activities that demonstrate leadership, teamwork, and initiative. Volunteering, clubs, sports, or independent projects can all bolster your application. 5️⃣ Seek Mentorship: Connect with teachers, counselors, or professionals in your field of interest who can provide guidance and support throughout the application process. 6️⃣ Craft Compelling Essays: Use your personal statements to showcase your unique experiences, perspectives, and aspirations. Make sure to tailor each essay to the specific program you're applying to. 7️⃣ Prepare for Interviews: Practice articulating your interests, experiences, and goals. Be authentic, confident, and enthusiastic during your interviews. 8️⃣ Demonstrate Growth: Reflect on challenges you've faced and how you've overcome them. Admissions committees appreciate resilience and self-awareness. 9️⃣ Submit a Polished Application: Double-check for any errors or inconsistencies in your application materials. Attention to detail reflects your commitment to excellence. 🔟 Be Persistent: If you're not accepted into your top choice program, don't be discouraged. Use the experience as an opportunity to learn and grow, and consider applying again in the future. Remember, the journey to securing a spot in a top-level summer program is as rewarding as the destination itself. Stay focused, determined, and passionate about your goals! #SummerPrograms #Education #FutureLeaders

Dear first-year university student, If you’re FEELING LOST? Don’t worry, it’s normal. I want you to know this: → I failed my first university tests due to the ‘know it all mentality’ →I attended most classes but found most to be boring → I didn’t want to be in the University I got accepted into 😪 University can feel overwhelming at first. Especially if you not happy with the university you got into. But remember you’re just starting YOUR JOURNEY! Don’t stress about having it all figured out. 🤝🏾 However, this is what I wish I had known in my first year: → Find things you love about your degree & use that as your motivation. → Reach out to alumni for advice. → Get involved in campus activities to grow your experience and portfolio. → Startbuilding relationships with professors and classmates. → Develop strong time management habits. It’s easy to feel behind, but remember, everyone’s path is different. 🫶🏽 We all start somewhere. Keep going!

I’ve got access to all the campus events, but sometimes I choose to study. I don’t attend every party or gathering. I spend more time in the library than in the student union. My social media feed is more about projects than parties. Some might say I’m not enjoying the “real” college experience. Others have told me I’m too focused on academics. Some even think I’ll look back and wish I’d done more “fun” things. But here’s the truth: College means something different to everyone. For me, college is: → Pulling an all-nighter to ace that tough exam. → Joining a study group where we push each other to do our best. → Networking with professors who inspire me and open new doors. → Working on projects that actually excite me and build my future. → Taking time to reflect on what I truly want out of life. So, don’t let others define your college experience for you. Make the most of it in a way that feels right to you. 🎓 What did college mean to you? Let’s share our stories!
