These were all the ECs I put on my resume I submitted to HOPP, hope that helps! : )
Thanks!
Thank you!!
Thank you so much. This was so helpful.
Me and 5 close friends from school in NYC all made it to Round 2 - Iâm guessing a large number of applicants make that first cut.
Congratulations! what grade are you in?
11th grade
My daughter made it to round two. The email she received said that 9% of the 1,000+ applicants made it to round two. She hasnât been contacted for an interview yet. Good luck to everyone.
which grade is your daughter in? I wonder if any 9th or 10th grade is accepted?
She is in 11th
my DD also got the 9% of 10XX email last friday. it said in the coming week you may be contacted
she hasnât been contacted about an interview yet. has anyone else in round two heard anything further?
Nothing yet. Hoping to hear something this week either way! Good luck!
I got the 9% email about 10 days ago and got accepted around 5 days ago.
Congratulations CKelly12!! Would you mind sharing your details in terms of your stats and ECs? It may help those who would like to apply to this program again next year, Thank you!
I am a current junior, gpa unweighted 3.9 and no research experience. Last summer I did pre-college comp bio at carnige Mellon, was on some physics team this year and am proficient in a couple programming languages and sign langauge. I also felt I had extremely strong responses to the questions. If anyone wants more specifics feel free to send me message.
