I believe invites for both of these things come later in the winter/early spring. I was disappointed I wasn’t invited to apply for Glynn, but in hindsight, I am glad I am not in it. I know several people in the program, and from what I can tell, the classes are quite challenging. I actually know someone who dropped out of it. I would not have been able to take the (really cool) first semester classes that I did if I was in Glynn, and I have no lingering disappointment. Glynn does have its perks, and I know that my friends who are in it have become close with other Glynn kids. That doesn’t mean, though, that there aren’t other opportunities to write a thesis, take seminar classes, etc. Overall, not a bad opportunity, but I wouldn’t say there’s a need to be disappointed if you’re not invited to apply.
