<p>Anyone else applying to CUSHP this year?</p>
<p>hey (@anyone in the program) I need a rec letter from SHP.. anyone gone through the process before? Also (if you were able to see it) how good of a letter was it? I’m assuming it to be pretty generic but I remember Prof Dodd saying how he looks at our scores specifically
ty in advance</p>
<p>@columbia97
I’m in the program, and I just asked my biology teacher for a rec. She didn’t really know me, so it was probably pretty generic. I didn’t see it though.</p>
<p>@silveraurora I’m talking about the rec letter that Prof Dodd writes for people who are already in the program (sorry about not clarifying)</p>
<p>@columbia97 Whoops, my bad. I actually should have read your post more carefully. I haven’t though, sorry.</p>
<p>Ahhh, I remember this point last year, when I was stressing out about applications. Anyone applying that has any question? I’d be glad to help you!</p>
<p>Reviving this thread. Who else is applying to this program? Also, what kind of biology and earth science questions are there? Is the acceptance rate for rising seniors a lot lower? What are the chances to get in? etc. </p>
<p>Nobody else is applying? Really?</p>
<p>Hawkace, </p>
<p>From what we can tell (we dont know for sure,) lower grades have a more lenient curve to account for the lack of knowledge in the tests. so it is easier to get in as an underclassman.</p>
<p>The bio and earth science questions are really varied. there is little you can do to prepare besides mabye read through some ap bio, ap env. sci. prep books. I wouldnt advise that though bc its not worth the time since the questions are so varied</p>
<p>What kind of questions will be on the exam? How can I study for it? Is there any advantage in choosing a later exam date?</p>
<p>I’ve been looking at the site for the application and I’m confused about the deadlines. Are the recs and transcripts due on 2/27 or 3/20. Doesn’t the completed application include the recs and transcripts? And the essays are due when? I’m so confused, I feel like I started this way too late.</p>
<p>I’m a freshman in NJ applying. Anyone want to ride the train with me via Trenton Transit > Penn Station?</p>
<p>So, the application has already been sent… how many people applied this year?</p>
<p>I’m a freshman with only bio, algebra I, and geometry. How much/how in depth should I study for physics, algebra II/trig, precalc, and chem? I’m on the math team and have practice with AMCs.</p>
<p>Did any rising seniors apply?</p>
<p>@hqearth The truth of the matter is that this test is quite impossible to study for. </p>
<p>My fee is in, the online recommendation was received, I submitted my application…they just haven’t gotten my transcript yet.</p>
<p>My counselor said he sent it on March 6th, and it’s been a week. When should I start getting worried? I’m already kind of freaking out right now. D:</p>
<p>@catchinginfinty the transcript isn’t due until the end of March…</p>
<p>Are we allowed to use a calculator for the exam?</p>
<p>@j45455 I believe you are</p>
