<p>I discovered SSP at a time when I was ineligible. Oh well.</p>
<p>@astrophysicsdude It’s posts like that that make me want to go to SSP so badly. You guys make it seem like such an incredible experience. (I don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of making it in though.)</p>
<p>@kevin Bwahaha yes I’m international. I wish I had a few more weeks, my essays were… interesting. XD</p>
<p>@maclover I mailed it to the address they had listed on the application page. (I hope it’s the right one!)</p>
<p>108 Whiteberry Dr
Cary, NC 27519</p>
<p>Oh, and I believe you get an email once they receive all the parts of your app. In case your school/teachers mailed anything separately.</p>
<p>Thanks skipblooms! I mailed it to the same address. yeaaah, really wish i had just a few more HOURS to edit D:</p>
<p>but hopefully if our deadline was earlier then we’ll find out earlier? haha</p>
<p>So do we get a confirmation letter saying they got our application?</p>
<p>im guessing whenever they arrive at the ssp office</p>
<p>yea…i got dat confirmation letter nw… application is complete.
nw waiting for the notification.</p>
<p>Best wishes to all…</p>
<p>I wish we could find out earlier 
But I did get an email saying that they’re not considering any later award/score updates past late March. Or something along those lines. So at least we’ll know sooner than previous years! Yay, my hopes and dreams will be crushed earlier. </p>
<p>Still waiting for that confirmation email though. ;o</p>
<p>I’m an international applicant so I already sent my apps in.
And I recently got my SAT score that I took in January.
Do you think I can send it to them? If so, how should I do it? By E-mail?</p>
<p>i was wondering about this too :S I just edited my online information sheet thing on the SSP website…but would they need any kind of score report sent to them?</p>
<p>Does anyone actually know if SSP has rolling admissions or not? Because I am getting mixed answers.</p>
<p>Do they take SAT Subject Test scores?</p>
<p>yes, i believe so</p>
<p>Tell me, SSP/RSI applicants and alumni - does attending SSP affect one’s chances of getting accepted into RSI?
I’ve seen it before on CC, but I’m not aware otherwise of anyone who has been accepted into both programs. This is just speculation, but I think attending SSP makes one seem like a slightly less attractive candidate for RSI. Perhaps the RSI admissions officers see SSP on an application and think that because this person has already experienced a relatively prestigious summer program, they shouldn’t go to RSI, because the experience would be of greater benefit to someone else who hasn’t had any experience in such a rigorous program. </p>
<p>Again, this is entirely speculation. I’ve been proven wrong just lurking the SSP/RSI threads from previous years, and maybe SSP makes someone more likely to get into RSI (“This applicant has good experience, therefore they would be a strong addition to our program.”)</p>
<p>Regardless of all this, I just want to hear your experiences. Keeping in mind that the RSI admissions process is entirely unpredictable, I don’t think any pattern of acceptance or rejection can be entirely attributed to SSP. There is correlation, however, between those who are accepted into SSP/RSI and the colleges they are accepted in down the road. On the other hand, I think it’s important to remember that the point of programs such as SSP and RSI isn’t to look good on a person’s track record for college applications, but rather, to give those who crave a more in-depth math/science/physics challenge/curriculum a very enriching lifetime experience. </p>
<p>I’m still applying to SSP now as a sophomore, and RSI next year as a junior (and SSP again, for it is highly likely that I will be rejected. The good thing is, I have nothing to lose 
).</p>
<p>I’m just wondering if anyone here has any personal experience or thoughts to either support or deny this speculation. Thanks.</p>

<p>^I disagree, with the RSI application. They want a mix of both new people, but also experienced people, and if SSP makes you more knowledgable on a certain topic, they’d be glad to further enable you to progress. The intel winners they have, were not doing research camp for the first time in their lives.</p>
<p>Would it be a bad idea to write about Computer Science for the first prompt since this is a physics/astronomy camp?</p>
<p>Hey everybody ! I applied for SSP summer 2011 and was accepted. I’m going to be a junior next year and am considering the 8 credit economic course- any tips? Is the workload to heavy? How hard is it to get straight A’s? about how much work needs to be done every night? </p>
<p>and is it hardd to keep/make friends? originally i was going to not be an on campus resident but ive changed my mind. please give me tips!!!</p>
<p>Congrats on your acceptance, aimforthesky. I can’t really help you out with your questions, but what were your stats that you applied with? I’m really nervous about my application.</p>
<p>EDIT: aimforthesky, I believe you have the wrong SSP.</p>
<p>oops sorry!! wrong ssp (;</p>
<p>Does anyone knows that when we will know the result? I am an international applicant. I am waiting anxiously.</p>
<p>the confirmation email said 1 month after the due date, maybe around March 3?</p>
