Finished application the first week of February. Last name starts with a G. This was the Bar Harbor location.
Are you an undergrad or high schooler?
also does it matter when you sent your application in?
@helllpppp, probably doesnāt matter when it was sent ināāIām guessing the waves are being sent out alphabetically. This is also what they have done in previous years.
@HeinousKetchup, do you mind sharing your stats?
Oh ok well I guess i didnāt get in then
Iām a high school senior.
Lots of science research experience (3 years of science fair). Iāve done a few projects related to DNA collection. Science Olympiad, various other science competitions.
AP: chem, bio, physics1, comp sci p, environmental sci
honors: math, anatomy
One of my teachers never submitted their recommendation, so I was freaking out.
@helllpppp, this is all speeculationāāI really have no clue. Letās hope for the best, and weāll see what happens in the next month!
can someone post an acceptance/denial email, so we know what to expect
Have any high school juniors been accepted?
over the next several weeks they will continue seating the class
@HeinousKetchup congrats!
@HeinousKetchup did the email provide any more specifics about how many seats have been filled thus far?
From what I remember from last year, there were a few rolling acceptances through March (maybe as PIs picked? idk.), more acceptances in the last few days, and then pretty much all rejections came in the last day or two.
@Astraea1 last few days of March?
@Cholo19 yeah it was the last few business days in March that were busy
Got in recently as well. Pretty surprised since I thought they did interviews. Part of me doesnāt want to post here because I donāt want to cause anxiety / anticipation / analysis for others (Iām posting to be involved in a groupme if it exists (???). Not sure how jax feels about threads like this, so I want to be respectful as well).
Anyway, do not analyze this thread!!! Or acceptances and rejections. One thing I learned from being in a place that is selective is that itās really anyoneās game and you shouldnāt analyze.
If you are feeling this way, I know what itās like: if you applied to this program, odds are you are a high achiever with big dreams. I have applied to the program before and didnāt get in, but I am also a very different person than when I first applied.
I will not be giving out personal info, but as someone who knows what itās like, I wanted to make a comment that is sensitive to how people are feeling.
do they pick a certain number of juniors and a certain number of seniors or do they just choose out of all high schoolers?
does anyone know how many juniors have gotten accepted already?
HS senior and I was accepted earlier today!
