<p>Were they researchers or something?</p>
<p>I got in!!! I’m so excited! I just got the email! OJAI!</p>
<p>WHAT??? CONGRATS! I never got it…so I guess 
Nevermind, I still have the later rounds and the KVPY is already assured…
But…what the **** I’m disappointed. I’ll wait a couple of hours though. Got my last exam in the morning. What use getting excited and distracted all this time if I wasn’t gonna get in lol.
Edit: Refreshed my inbox at least 50 times 
If anyone gets a defferred/rejected letter please post that as well.
On second thoughts I’m wondering if the results will be declared separately for international applicants?</p>
<p>Got it-
Dear Gaurav,</p>
<p>We regret to inform you that the Admissions Committee is not able to offer you a place in the 2009 Summer Science Program. Because SSP attracts a large number of outstanding applicants from around the world, and our enrollment is limited to 72, every year we find it necessary to turn away quite a few promising young scientists, such as yourself.</p>
<p>We thank you for your interest in the Summer Science Program and we appreciate that the time required to prepare your application was a significant investment. Although this outcome may be disappointing for you, we strongly encourage you to continue your scientific studies.</p>
<p>Best wishes,
Richard Bowdon, Executive Director
Summer Science Program</p>
<p>[You will receive the above in a letter, but I wanted to let you know as soon as possible by email.] </p>
<p>Damn itl! I wasn’t even ‘deferred’
<em>NOT HAPPY</em></p>
<p>I got in to Socorro! alskjdf;laksjdf I seriously didn’t think I was going to make it in; actually AS I WAS refreshing my email I was thinking “Guh, there’s going to be an email today, and it’s going to be bad news” and then the email title was “congratulations!” and I pitched a spaz.</p>
<p>Time’s Arrow, congrats! Haha, but we won’t get to meet because we’re at different campuses.</p>
<p>But oh no, gary, that sucks! I’m sorry =</p>
<p>Coin, congratulations!!! (waiting for summer is so much better than waiting for the email don’t you think?!)</p>
<p>Gary7, I can’t believe you didn’t get in… I’m sorry :(</p>
<p>I got in at the Socorro campus. Sorry to those who got rejected. Congrats to all who did.</p>
<p>what are your guys stats. i wanna see how i match up.</p>
<p>Accepted to OJAI!
Let’s get together now 
PM me. I can’t wait to meet you guys.</p>
<p>Congrats! My regrets, gary7.</p>
<p>Time’s Arrow – definitely, haha!!</p>
<p>bertoffski123 – awesome, looks like I’ll be meeting you this summer!</p>
<p>trickysocksman – uh, I don’t know how much my stats will help, but I’m an average CCer. 2260/3.9/etc. My classes and ECs are all over the board in the sense that I have a lot of sciences + humanities things going on.</p>
<p>magi – Congrats!!</p>
<p>I just had an internship interview and I mentioned SSP to them and that I was accepted and one of the interviewers knew what it was. It was pretty cool xD</p>
<p>Lol, it seems everyone except me made it! Really happy for all of you Have fun. Feeling much better now after a nice sleep… Haven’t told my parents yet hehe. They weren’t too interested in SSP either. The biggest prob if you are living in a relatively small town like mine is you don’t really get a platform for exploring your potential… I mean even if I WANT to and have really good ideas I can’t get hold of any research internships etc. That’s probably why I wanted SSP so much. But nevermind…I’ll find better things to do this summer. Have a few really good plans already. If they are successful, I might actually do more than what I’d miss in SSP
I guess the international applicants this year must be all INPhOs and IMOs etc…
But seriously, I won’t forget all the excitement and discussions in this thread for quite some time lol. It was great knowing so many successful SSP participants 
I would love to see pics and stuff when you get back from the camp ;-)</p>
<p>Congrats guys. Participants in SSP Ojai better beat those in Socorro. =) <em>evil grin</em></p>
<p>Accepted to Socorro! (but I still can’t pronounce it :))</p>
<p>(Alphabetical) list of acceptances:</p>

<p>Sorry gary7. I know you’re a great applicant. Perhaps you were rejected because you were intl applicant?
I’m very scared now. I check past posts, and it took three weeks and a day for 1st round applicants to recieve their decisions. Ahhh.
I probably won’t get in either. I’m such a loser. I missed national merit semi finalist by six points, missed AIME qualifier by 1 point, attract girls I’m not attracted to, lost a chess tournament champion by one point
I won’t be surprised if I get rejected . . .</p>
<p>Oh and gary7, my parents weren’t researchers. They LIVED in forrest villages. I guess they didn’t like the city? We somehow ended up comming to America . . .</p>
<p>Don’t think of yourself from that perspective, QuantumArbiter. I have none of those four stats, neither their equivalents (in the country I am from).
You still probably have a week or so to wait keep your hopes up!</p>
<p>I’m so sorry gary7
Have fun (and learn a lot) at your fellowship, and remember that we’re thinking of you.</p>
<p>Quantum, for the last time, you need to THINK POSTIVE. You’re adversely affecting my happiness right now… ;)</p>
<p>@tricky:
My basic stats are on my stats profile - just click my user name (but I hadn’t taken the SAT at the time I applied, so disregard that).
My essays were:
- Black holes
- Four of my ECs, and how my love of each of them has impacted me (yes, it was slightly over the word limit)
- My unusual singing voice
- A. Obvious
B. Being a vegetarian in a meat-heavy area
C. My Gold Award project
D. Not-very-impressive science ECs</p>
<p>I got deferred=[ Does anyone who went through the process last year know what this could mean? </p>
<p>magi,</p>
<p>What country are you from? I’m relieved to hear at least some intl got in^^</p>
<p>gary7,</p>
<p>Don’t feel bad at all! The intl applicant pool must be really scary as you imagined. I was almost on the IMO team for my country last year and that didn’t help much=[</p>
