Why YRI beats everything on price × outcomes
Admissions signal > hours logged. YRI turns weeks into outcomes (paper + wins + media) at a fraction of typical costs.
- • ISEF-ready project in 10 weeks
- • Journal-ready paper + media narrative
- • 1:1 PhD mentor + elite alumni network
- • Direct admissions signal, not just “hours”
- • Hard to access, slow timelines
- • No guaranteed publication or playbooks
- • Mentorship varies week to week
- • Group projects, generic outcomes
- • Rarely leads to publication or ISEF
- • Little lasting narrative value
- • Boosts scores, not uniqueness
- • Creates no publishable work
- • Weaker story than real research
Uniqueness wins
A published paper + ISEF credentials is a decisive tiebreaker. It proves initiative, depth, and impact in a way a test score can’t.
Faster than labs
10 weeks > 18–24 months. We compress “learn the tools” into sprints with weekly checkpoints and unblock sessions.
Story that compounds
Paper → awards → press → interviews. One project becomes a brand you can keep building through college and beyond.
Based on $2,497 over 10 weeks. Less than many tutoring packages — with far bigger upside.
Research awards + publication can unlock merit scholarships & grant opportunities worth multiples of tuition.
1:1 PhD mentors, alumni, and industry intros compound into internships, labs, and future publications.
What you’d normally pay for separately — included here

Pricing FAQs
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes — split-pay plans are available for accepted students. Most families choose 2–4 payments across the cohort timeline.
What’s included in the price?
Weekly 1:1 PhD mentorship, problem libraries, paper editing & figures, competition playbooks, alumni access, and media narrative support. Optional costs like conference travel or journal APCs (if any) are not included.
How is this cheaper than SAT + counselor?
Typical SAT prep + counselor packages run $3k–$12k and don’t create a publishable outcome. YRI costs less than many combos and produces an ISEF-level project + paper — a far stronger differentiator.
Can I upgrade to VIP?
Yes. VIP ($3,997) is by invitation after a mentor interview. It adds senior review, faster feedback, customized coaching, internship referrals, branding, and warm industry intros.
Do you work with schools and POs?
Yes. We support invoices, POs, and procurement. Email team@yriscience.com for institutional pricing.
When does it run and how long?
Cohorts run seasonally. The program is 10 weeks with weekly checkpoints engineered for momentum and publication speed.
How selective is it?
We admit ~6% of applicants to keep ratios tight. If accepted, we’re confident you can execute the blueprint with us.
