Umm ???
Well besides @SavedKarma , there are 11 other people out there who are selected to go.
Unfortunately we have not idea if those slots have been taken or if Mr.San Francisco is still deciding on who to admit.
But ultimately it is kind of ridiculous we have waited this long, April is literally over.
Hopefully it will come out in the next 3-4 days, and that is a conservative estimate.
They’ve extended the decisions again according to their website :((
AHHHHHHHHHHH this is so scary
lol WHAT!!
I don’t need more stress than APs and preparing for ISEF lol
But at least they are telling us some thing after the absolute of dry spiel of an application cycle
Stressed and worried, yet excited!
Good luck everyone!!!
and in what category are you competing on ISEF? I am going too
Oooh Coool !!! 
Im in the category of Environmental Engineering. Wbu
cell physiology 
got rejected lol
from clark scholars? did they send out emails?
yeah i got one two hours ago
Rejected too, email was in spam
yeah, i got rejected too
It took them long enough…
Yeah I got rejected. I knew it was coming, lol like 3 out of the 12 selected students are on this thread, there are so few sports and i had no chance anyways.
Going through 12 programs and getting rejected from 11 of them, this has only taught me two things, take college classes to boost gpa higher than peers to be more competitive, and to spend WAY more time on essays and teacher reccs. I spent 3 weeks over winter break writing my essays, but ultimately I feel that I should have been spending AT LEAST 2-3 hrs per day editing until the application due date instead of doing it over winter break and not touching it much afterwards, there is always more work to be done.
I was lucky to get off the waitlist for 1 of the 12 programs I applied to, at Ohio State University (which is close to where I live), but tbh its honestly a little discouraging i did not get into anywhere else.
do more volunteering (every dang application asks about community and impact), everyone is screwed for teacher reccs (even if you do well in the class- they will send a basic recc, they dont really care and hate to write reccs), and take more college classes. GPA is literally the first thing they look at, and one of the AOs for Clark scholars said during a zoom meeting for Texas Tech Admissions a few weeks back that they literally don’t even look at the rest of the application if gpa and ecs are bad or even just average
Frustrated yes, Did i expect it, yes and i have been posting here for weeks about it tbh.
Thank god this over and I finally have an answer, even negative, because there is always more work I have to do, personally and academically
Even still, Congrats to everyone who has made it. It is a amazing research program and opportunity.
Rejection here also - was sitting in SPAM and now I moved to TRASH. lol
Rejected as well, though I spent hours, editing and perfecting my essays.
Am 2-times ISEF finalist, 3 times presidential Volunteer Gold award winner with 500+ hours of volunteering. Rank 1/787 students with gpa of 4.79 and am a rising senior. So one never knows what they are looking for…Good luck to ones who made it to the program.
I’m sorry to hear that! I hope you get off of the waitlist!
Would you mind sending a copy of what the letter said?
Did it say how many people applied?
700+ applied
I checked spam no rejection yet does not what that means
Is there anyone else who did not get any response
Did you get any response?
