What is the age range of the kids that go to NYLSC?

I was in 8th grade when I went and I was one of the youngest ones there. Most people are in high school, leaning towards underclassmen. But there will be a sorta big age distribution, I think. Hope that helps!

Okay, thanks so much!! Because I am going into my second year of highschool and alot of the people going seem to be in 8th and 9th grade I just did not want to be the oldest one there haha

The age generally ranges from eight to ninth grade but occasionally you get younger and older. Don't worry age REALLY does not matter at this conference. You get along with virtually everyone.

At my conference it was mostly 8th graders . And just a few freshmen. but like Tay said it really doesn't matter.

When I went there were only a hand full of 7th and 10th graders, There were mostly 8th and 9th graders. But everyone got along really well so the whole age thing didn't really matter!!

yeah i am going into eighth grade and my friend going wit me is in 9th and at all the other ones i went to JrNYLC and Jab the majority is 7th and 8th there where some 9th garaders and there was some younger people but there is always a majority of the median age group

NYLSC scholars are broken down into 3 age groups:

6th/7th
8th/9th
10th/11th

Your roommates and group members will only be within your age group

ohhh that makes sence thanks samantha M that is really helpful

You're welcome

i just went to JAB and they told me i wasnt going to be invited to this until the summer of 8th grade...im going into 7th grade...so why cant i get invited the summer of 7th grade??? only my 8th grade friends from the JAB got invited

NYLSC is for 8th graders and up!! THAT IS THE ONLY REASON AND YOU WILL GET THE INVITE NEXT SUMMER DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!!
