Do know any information about the alternates and how many are chosen or are all the slots taken? Currently I'm an alternate but I don't know if that means rejection. Any help is appreciated.
Best of luck you guys! The deadline for notification for us was today actually, so they should know pretty soon whether or not they are going to take any alternates.
If the deadline for notification was yesterday I feel like I should have received *something* by now (other than an "application received" e-mail), be it a rejection or wait-list.
If I'm not going I'd like to buy an airline ticket for another program before the flight I'd like disappears, but I'm hesitant to contact them because the program announcement says we'll receive decisions by May 10th. And I don't want to be That Person who bothers them while they are busy notifying/evaluating or doing something else.
Apparently they had a miscommunication on who was supposed to be sending out e-mails or something. I got a response back after I e-mailed them. Several weeks ago I was waitlisted. They've finished filling the program up (didn't make it to my name), so now I'm rejected.
Anybody applying? Apps haven't opened up yet but I was looking up some backups for RSI and Clark Scholars, haha. Anyways, I've been going through the posts, and figured I'd try to ask some alums from last year because, you know, the most recent information is the best. How was it? What was the research like? Are there a lot of organized activities? I went to Iowa SSTP last year (I have a LOT of posts on that...) and was looking for a cheaper research experience. Opinions?
@WeIsCool yeah, I'm applying this year. And I thought applications already have opened up for HSHSP. You can access them on the website.
I was also planning on applying to Clark Scholars, City of Hope, and SIMR. I haven't taken the SATs yet so I need to get on that. I'll probably take them January 1. I'm pretty nervous about all these programs. My chances of getting in are very slim seeing as I probably don't even come close to comparing to other applicants, haha.
To those who got in last year, could you post your stats please? Thank you!
