Summer Science Program (SSP) 2011

<p>Rejected also :[
Congrats to those who made it!!</p>

<p>Rejected and expectant of such.</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone who got in!</p>

<p>Hey guys, congratulations to all who got accepted! I’ll be seeing all of you who are going to NM campus!</p>

<p>By the way, how do I join this facebook group?</p>

<p>Got in =) woot</p>

<p>yea i want to join the NM facebook group too haha. I hope NM is better than the other campus ( i dont even know where the other one is lol)</p>

<p>Medulla: are you on alternate or waitlisted (cuz I’m wondering whether its just a same thing or perhaps two distinct lists)?</p>

<p>rejected :frowning: ■■■</p>

<p>I was rejected. I’m really sad, but I’m not surprised.</p>

<p>@FKaraz
My email has me dubbed as an “alternate.” Not sure if that’s the same thing as waitlisted. Are the lists separate for nationals and internationals?</p>

<p>Alternate list’d. I didn’t even know that existed lol</p>

<p>rejected… so ****ed off right now, my entire summer is down the drain</p>

<p>uhoh. rejected. lol i didn’t expect to get in anyway</p>

<p>I’m on the alternate list as well. Anyone know what that means?
Or, perhaps more importantly, any acceptees planning on going elsewhere? :wink:
This would definitely be my first choice…</p>

<p>By the way, here’s the rejection e-mail for those interested:

</p>

<p>Rejected. Oh well. I’ve been accepted to one research program and waiting on another (which costs less), so I’ll have a good place to go to this summer anyway. Good job to those who made it!</p>

<p>Nice, energize. I’m applying to a few right now, I really need something to do this summer!</p>

<p>Alternate. Does anyone know how many alternates there are relative to the v2 who were accepted?</p>

<p>I’m interested …what are the stats of those accepted/rejected? I am wondering what concentration of applicants SSP is aiming for and if there is a definitive "prerequisite needed to get in.</p>

<p>That said, I think I mainly got in off of extracurricular and competitive interests because my essays lacked, since I kind of just copied and pasted segments off my RSI essay (which was lacking) and then wrote piecemeal for the others xD. I guess it wasn’t awful though.</p>

<p>If rejected:</p>

<p>Stats + EC + Awards</p>

<p>Why do you think you were rejected</p>

<p>If accepted:</p>

<p>Similar, except: why do you think you were accepted</p>

<p>Sure. (Rejected.)</p>

<p>GPA (unweighted) - 3.96
SAT I - 2360 (790 CR/800 M/770 W)
SAT II - 800x3 (Math 2, Physics, Chemistry)</p>

<p>ECs/awards: mostly random math-related things. Self-studied Physics B last year and got a 5; currently self-studying Physics C. Self-studied precalc and currently self-studying for Calc BC (not taking a precalc or AP Calc class). USAMTS Honorable Mention, but didn’t hear about that until yesterday.</p>

<p>I think my essays and (lack of) ECs just weren’t good enough to make the cut. (That 89.4 in honors chem last year and my lack of precalc/calc class this year probably didn’t help.)</p>
