I'd rather you stuck with the name Laruen. It's unique and won't get you confused with others named Lauren.

Oh oook.

It's just like John Hopkins like when students apply to John Hopkins University they say like they applied to the John Hopkins Talent Search but it's more different.

This summer program is gor grade 11th or 12th graders. I'm taking it at my Junior year and maybe senior. This will also help me get to Yale! :) Right?

What does this means "Yale undergraduates receive Yale College credit for courses taken in Yale Summer Session." ??????

If your wondering where I got this from I got this from "Academic Regulations" section of the site.

So before I apply to Yale, I can take the summer session for it????

What does this means "Yale undergraduates receive Yale College credit for courses taken in Yale Summer Session." ??????

We had this at the university from which I retired. What it meant at that university (if it applies to Yale I don't know because sometimes all of the fine print reads differently) was that students in high school received deferred college credit for the course if they graduated from high school and entered this university. Then the summer credit would be added to the transcript.

Oh so I do this after I grad. high school and if I get accepted to Yale. Before I go to Yale I go to the Summer Session if I want to for college credit.

Because like they said that this program is for grade 11th and 12th grade. And I thought if I partcipted in this program (IF i get accepted) then it will help me get to Yale.
