@stemmmm I think I got in because of my essays and recommendations. I strongly conveyed my passion for astronomy and how SSP would benefit me since I come from a rural area with few opportunities to get into astronomy. My test scores are good. Updating what @collegemom3717 said, I have a 1380 SAT (superscored, 700 R/W 680 M), 31 ACT (35 E 34 M 26 R 29 S), 680 Math 2, 650 Bio E, 620 Physics (took for the heck of it with little prep). Like with college admissions, you never know what’s going to happen. I was fairly certain I was going to be rejected since I was rejected from the Yale Summer Program in Astrophysics. But I was accepted. In the end, that’s all that matters to me.
