Summer Programs in US | Everything you need | How to Apply

Hey guys!!! This is a video that's been pending for a while I KNOW I KNOW. I missed all of you :)

WELCOME TO Summer Programs in US, a guide that will teach you how to apply and give you EVERYTHING you need to pick a quality program during your summer vacations.

In this video, we will discuss why you should go for summer programs, how they can enhance your college application, provide you academic depth, and help you explore your passions in high school. We also discuss the value of relationship building, and how summer programs can help you find friends, mentors, and even potentially receive letters of recommendation from your professors.

In the second segment of this video, I give you a framework to assess Summer Programs, breaking down the elements of Financial Aid & Cost, Duration & Destination, Academic Major, and the value you want to derive from the program.

In the third segment, we discuss what truly sets a summer program apart. Remember, most quality programs in the United States for high school students are FREE. We talk about acceptance rates, application process densities, and how you should refer to trusted sources like the MIT Admissions Blog.

In the fourth segment of this video, I give my personal Summer Program Recommendations.

Lastly, I discuss my experience with LaunchX & the Yale Young Global Scholars (YYGS) program.

First of all Shaurya thanks for taking my suggestion 😀
Secondly, maybe a qn and a nxt week?
No pressure tho.
And I can't stress enough how much I am hoping and excited for your Stanford vlogs😭😭

[bruhh]

Just a quick suggestion! Since you've been talking alot about US college applicants and topics revolving around the same.. It would be great if you try your hand at podcasts! I mean you'll be able to talk about alot without editing lol :D and also, you can share aspects of your life that you might not share on YouTube right now!
Lessgooo!
