<p>@yeswecan95
I’m a white male, Junior from California in Honors Pre-Calculus too…except my parents didn’t make me apply! I really want to go. </p>

<p>For me, my SAT is a lot better than my PSAT(I still beat the cut-off for NM, so I don’t really care).</p>

<p>Math and science are my passions, but it’s weird how I don’t have as many science/math ECs as I would like, and I score the worst on math compared to the other two sections on the SAT/PSAT. I still included a resume though. </p>

<p>I wrote around 650-700 words for the final essay, so I hope they don’t get mad about that!</p>

182

<p>actually im a girl, sophomore, in multivariable calculus, and I REALLY REALLY WANNA GO…!!!word…anyone got their confirmation email yet?</p>

183

<p>hey guys, if i applied from California, how long does it normally take for them to email saying they received my application? because i applied like a week ago and there’s no response :/</p>

<p>I wasn’t going to apply, but I got multiple emails from SSP saying that since I applied to MITES, they think I should also apply to SSP. All I had to do was email my short answers, so why not. Do you guys know if there are many minority applicants/students each year?</p>

185

<p>woooo confirmation email! anyone else?</p>

186

<p>got confirmation letter a month ago; I’d rather see a decision email in my inbox</p>

187

<p>Sheesh, you guys scared me. I thought confirmation letter = accepted. I haven’t received anything yet, but I’ll keep an eye out for the confirmation email. I hope nothing went wrong with the delivery -_-</p>

<p>I also applied to MITES, though I wrote almost entirely different essays for SSP. And I also got a confirmation letter!</p>

189

<p>Did the decision come out for international applicants?</p>

190

<p>I’m an international applicant and no, I haven’t received my decision, yet. I’ll let you all know as soon as I get the email.</p>

191

<p>Will let u knw guys… seems the decision is likely to come aftre 11th of March…boom for international students</p>

192

<p>Ahhhhh I’m on the alternate list! This sounds lame, but I’m incredibly happy that I might have even the slimmest chance of going. Ahhhh I’m so shocked that I wasn’t rejected ><</p>

<p>I had no SAT scores and my essays were almost all over the word limit lol. Good luck guys!</p>

193

<p>im also on the alternate list…
does anybody know what the chances of eventual acceptance are for the alternate list?</p>

194

<p>I’m also on the alternate list. Still hope I might get in…</p>

195

<p>So many alternates! Great job guys! I still haven’t received an email or a letter :(</p>

<p>Any US applicants receive a decision yet, or is it only international so far?</p>

196

<p>Do they reserve international spots? Because otherwise I don’t see how they can already have made a decision…</p>

<p>EDIT: Last year’s forum said stuff might be happening in waves. Also, those apps were due 3/15 and they knew on 4/12… I would expect a similar time frame (3/28)</p>

197

<p>Rejected. 5 on AP calc, good recs from math and physics teachers I think. Low gpa though. Good luck to the rest of you.</p>

198

<p>

I believe so.</p>

<p>

Where did you apply from?</p>

199

<p>what? Some internationals have already got the decision? I am international and I still do not know any messages.</p>

200

<p>India. Hopefully my TASP interview and final decision goes well! SSP looks really amazing though, for those of you that got in. All I can hope is that SSP admissions saw my passion for the subject first. I can fully understand though, considering the quality of applicants.</p>
