What is Open Yale Courses?http://oyc.yale.edu/about
Open Yale Courses (OYC) provides lectures and other materials from selected Yale College courses to the public free of charge via the Internet. The courses span the full range of liberal arts disciplines, including humanities, social sciences, and physical and biological sciences.

The online courses are designed for a wide range of people around the world, among them self-directed and life-long learners, educators, and high school and college students. The integrated, highly flexible web interface allows users, in effect, to audit Yale undergraduate courses if they wish to. It also gives the user a wide variety of other options for structuring the learning process, for example downloading, redistributing, and remixing course materials.
Each course includes a full set of class lectures produced in high-quality video accompanied by such other course materials as syllabi, suggested readings, and problem sets. The lectures are available as downloadable videos, and an audio-only version is also offered. In addition, searchable transcripts of each lecture are provided.
Explo is the summer program that I will take this July. This program is amazing because it is not based on grades, but the effort and interest you have towards the course. This is really nice because you don't have the pressure to have the best grade. Instead, you can focus that energy on effort and natural interest.
Everyone that has gone says it is a wonderful experience not only because of the wide variety of classes that are offered in many different subjects but also having the opportunity to meet new people and create something new about yourself. Most kids say that they selected their courses according to what they were planning to be when they grew up but they ended up taking some that were not their favorite. At the end of the day they enjoyed these courses and by taking something different they don't know what to do in their life because they liked all their courses so much.
These are some videos that can really encourage you to go. They really convinced me. There are many opportunities give there for you.
When the classes are over, you can play sports, go to the gym, travel to New York, go to musicals, or just go to conferences that can really help you later on in your life.
Here you can gave the info you need about courses, outside of class activities, and other essential info you might need. Their options are so varied, that it is really hard to choose which ones to take.
variety of students going to Explo every summer. There nothing is "normal" because you meet people from all over the globe.

2. Based on the results, se what jobs would interest me. None of the webpages gave me clear instructions on what path to take so I searched a way to find my path.
3. I looked at a couple of Universities that I liked.
- Duke University:
Located in North Carolina, Durham
Offers a variety of classes that can expand my view of what I want to study
Reality: Thousands of applications are sent to Duke and only a few are accepted. If Duke is not my "first choice" simply because I don't know what I want yet I should move on.
4. Due to the summer program I will attend this summer in Yale, I decided to look more in depth. By going there this July, I will have higher possibilities to apply into Yale later on.
