Wouldn’t they have sent an email to tell us if they changed the date? Hopefully they come out tomorrow, I want to know already!
Did anyone get an acceptance email today? I didn’t receive one and it’s making me so nervous. Do we know the exact date if they do send the acceptances out in May?
I didn’t hear anything!
Haven’t heard anything either
Haven’t heard anything If I had to guess, I would say May 6th because it’s the first Friday in May.
Haven’t heard anything yet I guess it is coming in May
Just out of curiosity, what were your projects about?
My project was aimed at helping to encourage physical fitness through a mentorship program. I started a hiking club at my school and I take part in a mentoring program for girls, so I decided to combine those two to build a future of healthy and confident women.
My project would be like a tutoring program to help kids learning English as a second language with homework since there’s a large Spanish-speaking community where I live, including a lot of kids who only speak Spanish or their parents don’t know English so it’s hard for them to help with reading and English homework
So just to confirm it, I emailed them yesterday and I got a response saying that “due to an unprecedented number of applications”, we would be notified of decisions the first week of May
I was accepted!!
Rejected last year, accepted this one! Persistence pays off
Congratulations to you two!! Did you hear by email? I’m disappointed I didn’t get accepted but I’ll try again next year!
@JulianaK Yup, they sent an email. And remember that you can still do your project this year! I started my project this year even after they rejected me and I think it really helped to show them that I had the initiative to start it on my own.
@JulianaK Yes! They sent the email at around 8:00 AM for me. Definitely try again next year
I was accepted today! I can’t wait to meet you all of you!!
Are they still sending out the acceptances in batches like last year?
@ironsweater I didn’t know they did that last year, but now I have my fingers crossed!
Congrats to those who were accepted! Are today just the first batches or will there be more people accepted? I feel like my chances are pretty slim since it’s so competitive, but whatever, I can’t do anything about it now than just wait!
@ThatCaliGirl @kitkat231 Congrats! I bet your projects were great to have gotten accepted into such a prestigious camp. I was wondering if your GPA above a 4.0? You don’t have to answer me if you don’t feel comfortable sharing! I am just wondering if that was one of the ways they sort through the applicants.
