Is it necessary that the recommendation letters have to be from teachers?

[@preetkaur2912]

I am in my senior year of high school, am I eligible to apply for this program because this is what I am getting confused in:- ❑ Sophomore (U.S. grade 10 or equivalent) ❑ Junior (U.S. grade 11 or equivalent) ❑ Senior (U.S. grade 12 or equivalent) they have given this option but on their website they wrote that:- "Be a current high school sophomore or junior (or international equivalent). Be graduating in May/June 2022 or 2023 from the Northern Hemisphere, or in Nov./Dec. 2021 or 2022 from the Southern Hemisphere.

[@sagarshivas298]

I have a very strong passion for astronomy, is having passion towards a subject helps me to get in?

[@growinsummer5884]

Yes, having passion definitely helps. Just make sure you reflect the same passion in your essay and short essays so that the YYGS Admissions Team can see it! It would be helpful if you have done something in the area of astronomy. Action > Words!! You can ask your teachers to write about how you showed your astronomy interest in school.

[@sagarshivas298]

@@growinsummer5884 first of all thanks for responding..... I have photographed 4 planets(Jupiter,Saturn,mars,venus) and next trying to spot a galaxy with my telescope and I used to visit observatories and I watch astronomical events with my telescope. I hope this can help me to show my passion, At least a bit.

First of all, thank you so much for such a great video. I am a international student from India and I have 2 questions that - 1.) Doing a internship related to your passion will help me to get into YYGS ? 2.) Applying in early action will increase my chances of acceptance or not? Thank you.....

[@sanyaagarwal6066]

1. Definitely! If you do anything that is connected to passion and helps you grow as person then it'll definitely help! 2. I can't say much about it but it's your choice if you're ready early then their is no harm in applying early action!
