<p>I applied too! I really worried about my PSATs… But I think my essay and others things make up for it… at least I’m hoping it does.</p>

<p>when will we get the decision? he’s written that “~a month after the deadline” - if I’m international does that mean after my or the us deadline?</p>

<p>^Why doesn’t one of the internationals just email Mr Bowden and ask the question? o_o</p>

<p>I’m expecting an RSI rejection, probably this month, so SSP is my next best choice. Numbers are OK, essays are meh, ECs are nearly insignificant. Fun.</p>

<p>just kidding…im actually a white male, junior from california and my mom is making me do this :(…any other californians?as far as stats go…my psats are ok…and my sats are so-so…and im currently in pre-calc…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I didn’t really mention ECs. Did you guys include a supplemental info sheet/resume? I’d assume that would be a place to include ECs, but I just skipped out on it. Oh well.</p>

<p>Is there any other summer programs that any of you guys applied for? I am thinking about applying for others since SSP seems very selective. </p>

<p>at yeswecan95 : I’m from CA. Pretending to be a girl is kinda weird, even on a forum…</p>

<p>@mrfairladyz I included a supplemental resume, but I don’t really have all that many science-y math-y resumes</p>

<p>@energize haha I’m expected an RSI rejection too… Already got rejected from TASP.</p>

<p>"at yeswecan95 : I’m from CA. Pretending to be a girl is kinda weird, even on a forum… "</p>

<p>Sup. I’m not sexy, not Asian, not a princess (I wish), and not a girl(physically at least).</p>

<p><em>sigh</em> now we have nothing to do but wait. I applied from CA as well. I’m already dreaming of an SSP summer, but I know I’m getting my hopes up. Maybe next year…</p>

<p>just kidding i actually am a girl…just kidding…no im not…now ur confused…no i am too…ITS DR. SEUSS’ Birthday!</p>

<p>Hey guys. I just received the email from Mr. Bowdon. He said the decisions for international applicants may be made next week.</p>

<p>next week? omg, I so cant wait… wish I’d get in</p>

<p>Oh god no… I’m going to be paranoid whenever I check my inbox now. Don’t think I’ll get in, but this is going to be a very sad spring break. xD Transcript is good and my essays were a little quirky, but I don’t have any major awards or anything. Good luck to everyone else!</p>

<p>@skipblooms - I’m already always almost dead with excitement when I check the inbox and see ‘(1) new message’ only to find out it’s some stupid spam or whatever :p</p>

<p>are admissions rolling this year? are we all going to be notified by april 1st?</p>

<p>I guess the internationals would get the decision sooner (as posted before, someone asked Bowdon and he replied that international decisions will be due next week) as we have applied sooner, as well. US applicants would get them by the twenty somethingth of March</p>
