Iowa Young Writers Workshop 2018
Hi all,
Just wanted to start a thread about IYWS because I saw that no one else has. I'm interested in whether you've applied before and been rejected, what other programs you've applied to, and if you have experiences from last year that would be interesting for anyone trying to go to IYWS this summer.

Horizon Scholars Stanford Summer Session
Hi! I just got accepted into the Stanford Summer Session after applying for the Horizon Scholars. I'm unsure of whether I received the tuition grant or not.. but i was wondering, is Horizon Scholars hard to get into to? I heard that the Summer Sessions isn't, as it costs close to 10k for residential.
Also, is the Stanford Summer Session a good program? I am still waiting on a couple other program acceptances, and am currently filling out an application for a summer job. The only thing I'm discouraged about right now is that it isn't an internship, and I would like to be earning some sort of income over the summer..

Rockefeller SSRP essay question
Hello, could someone who was accepted for this program previously or who applied tell me how long their first essay was? (this is the one with the essay question where you get to choose the prompt you respond to). I'm trying to gauge how long it should be. Additionally, I would love any tips for applying you might have because my GPA tanked by .7 this semester, with most of the bad grades concentrated in core classes (yes, I am well aware of how bad this is, and no I do not have extenuating circumstances, I was just completely stupid and got hooked on some mobile games (not going to name which)).

Summer precollege drama programs - Carnegie Melon, Emerson, Boston University and Yale
My rising senior d is having a hard time deciding on which program to go with for this summer. Are any programs actually taught by the faculty? Have better prep for college auditions? Yale was her first choice but I seem to find mixed reviews on their summer program and doesn't seem to provide prep for auditions. Any experiences to share?

Iowa Young Writers' Studio 2018
Hello all,
I'm applying to the Iowa Young Writers' Studio this year, and I have a quick question about the creative writing sample that must be included in the application. Prior attendees, how did you structure your writing sample? Did you include your name and information on the first page (did you have to have a cover page)?
I don't think you need a cover page or any formal introduction to your writing samples, but I'm asking just to be sure. Any additional information would be great!

National Youth Leadership Forum (Envision Experience): Is It a Scam?
Hi All,
I attended the NYLF: Medicine camp last year in the summer of 2017, and since I have received several questions regarding the details of this camp, I decided to create a post and share my experiences.
Let's start with the pros:
The camp somewhat sufficiently did what the program description claimed: it helped me gain an introductory experience in the medical field with hospital tours, guest speakers who are doctors, and education on the basics.
The experience was also fairly exciting: I made several new friends and enjoyed the NYC trip.
The cons, however, are plentiful:
At a staggering $10k, NYLF makes your parents pay through the nose for a one week experience.
The guest speakers' presentations were somewhat superficial and failed to provide deep insight into what the medical field is like. The education, (which is basically school/classes on different medical fields, medical procedures, etc) aspect of the camp was also limited. In my opinion, any of the useful information I actually gained from the camp could be easily obtained online through a Google search.
Though the experience was enjoyable, there were several management issues that ruined the experience with many others. Since there was a pipe burst in the women's dormitory, many of them had to relocate to the guys' building. I wonder what problems that could cause...
Yep. There were several instances of sexual misconduct that resulted in half the local police department roaming the floors every night. I think NYLF also had to deal with lawsuits or complaints from these girls' parents. If I were NYLF, I would be extremely embarrassed at the poor management.
And after all that, (and after a $10,000 tuition), the food options were mediocre.
Overall, if you are looking to enrich your understanding of the medical field, this camp will help, but NOT AS MUCH AS YOU THINK. Most of everything we did could be done at home with a computer and the internet. The few hands-on activities we were involved in were also scarcely educational.
The only real benefit I derived from attending this camp was a fun and exciting 7 days. But also remember that there are ways to enjoy your time without paying a massive sum of money.
If you think this camp will help for college, think again. Generally, I go by the belief that anything "Pay to Play" will not distinguish you from the anyone else, and will not give you an admissions advantage. In fact, attending NYLF may hurt your chances slightly: it may demonstrate that you are trying too hard to "pad your resume".
If you are looking for a truly rewarding or beneficial (from the college admissions perspective), I would apply to different programs that have a legitimate application process: this includes essays, interview, resume, transcript, recommendation letters, etc. NYLF only requires a "nomination", which is more of a psychological trick to instill a feeling of specialty than an actual nomination to a prestigious program.
I would recommend doing research about the program you are applying to. If possible, try to contact others who have attended such program to gain an honest insight (college confidential is a great place to do that). Generally, if the program has a somewhat rigorous application process and/or is free of tuition, it is a program that you will gain tremendously from. NYLF, unfortunately, is not that kind of program.
Also, when you attend NYLF, somewhere in the middle they will have you sign a "media disclosure form" or something of that sort, and then ADVERTISE THEMSELVES using YOUR NAME to other students in your school. I find that particularly annoying, and even after contacting them to remove my name, they continued to use my information for marketing purposes. Their viciously vehement marketing and advertising should show you how hungry they are for money- and a camp that wants nothing but your money will likely not go overboard providing you with the best experience (which will cost more for them).
For whoever is considering attending NYLF, I hope this helped! If you have any further questions, I'll be happy to help.

MITES / MOSTEC -- Teacher Recommendations question
So I am applying for the MIT OEOP summer program, and have a quick question regarding my teacher recommendations.
Unfortunately, I am not very close with my math or science teacher, and I am worried their recommendation for me will be very generic. I was wondering if there was a way I could instead have a technology teacher, who I am closer with, write my recommendation instead of one of the two?
How closely do you think the admissions people look at who the recommendation is from?

Summer research program or contact labs?
Is it better for college admissions to go to a selective summer research program like Garcia or Michigan HSSHP or contact a research lab to get an internship over the summer (the research lab would be at an Ivy League school)?
