From Aitchison to Yale: A Glimpse into YYGS
Aitchison College, Senior School, recently hosted an insightful and highly informative session on the prestigious Yale Young Global Scholars (YYGS) programme, designed to broaden students’ academic horizons and enhance their global exposure. The session was led by Hadi Mubashir Kazmi, an alumnus of the YYGS Politics, Law, and Economics track, in collaboration with Senior School Counsellor Ms. Sarah Malik. Together, they provided a comprehensive overview of the programme, including its rigorous application process, diverse academic tracks, leadership opportunities, and international networking potential. Particular emphasis was placed on the importance of early preparation, personal initiative, and strong written submissions in securing admission to such competitive global platforms. Students also gained valuable insights into the skills and experiences YYGS nurtures, including critical thinking and policy-oriented problem-solving. This session proved invaluable in inspiring Aitchisonians to aspire towards world-class academic enrichment and to prepare strategically for future university admissions, a realm in which the college has proudly excelled historically.
