YSPA 2019!

@rileygrl Yup, April 6. It looks like the admissions people have looked at the applications already, though. I logged into SmarterSelect and it says my application was modified(??). Although that might just mean they received it and marked it as pending.

@tomb9610 Best of luck to you too! I wish these summer programs weren’t so competitive. It really drives me insane. We should all have equal opportunity. (But, alas…)

@tomb9610 I was moved onto the matching phase, so not quite accepted yet. If a professor agrees to work with me then I will be accepted. I didn’t know it wasn’t open to internationals, that kind of sucks.

how do you know?

@marvelousmarvel Mine was marked as pending too. Probably it just means they received it.
@jedelm23 Good luck on the matching phase!

@jedelm23 Good luck on the matching phase! how do you know?

My is pending too…

@16 I was talking about RISE. They emailed me a couple weeks ago about it.

@jedelm23 Good luck on the matching phase!

Hey dear YSPA applicants??. The countdown has been launched 6 days left. I’m so excited . The application process was really amazing and I think that no matter the final decisions, rejected or accepted, all applicants must have learned something more

Personally, I loved the esssay question on nerds. It was so inspiring.

In a way, i rediscovered myself through these essays.

Next year, with all summer camps I applied to, I believe college applications shall be as sweet as an Easter egg haha. Good luck guys ?

@Krli2790 I’m also really excited! I really love the nerd essay prompt too. That’s probably the best one among all questions I’ve encountered for summer apps.

I have so much anxiety right now. I really want to get into this program.

Where are you guys from ?

How many people applied ? Do you have any estimate of the number of applicants?

Is it possible if the decision comes out today?

@Krli2790 California. Where are you from? According to earlier threads, around 300-400 apply, although the number has probably gone up.

@duoduo0619 I kind of doubt it, although I’d like for it to. Probably tomorrow at the earliest, no?

I am getting nervous now
