Do you think I have a remote chance?</p>
<p>Heya</p>
<p>"officially", SHP or other programs at Columbia will not boost your chances...</p>
<p>But yeah, seeing as SHP is pretty selective, it should give you a boost... especially since it is at Columbia and they know better than other schools how tough it is to enter. And because Columbia made the entrance exams and set the standards. I've also heard the theory lurking around that the SHP is used by CU to attract bright science students to and snag 'em early on...</p>
<p>Thomaschau - Grrrrr...eat to hera that. Overall do you think I have a chance?
Talking to some poeple i get a feeling that not all colleges know about the SHP program. That frustrates me!</p>
<p>Well, you could fix that problem by asking the SHP office to send a recommendation for you.. it's just a printed sheet that lists courses you've taken and talks about the program and how selective it is.</p>
<p>I think you've got a chance</p>
<p>yup i'm in SHP... being on campus this saturday is going to be painful with anticipation. we can just hope it helps, i guess.</p>
<p>being on campus NEXT saturday will be even WORSE... if rejected.
if accepted... it'll be WONDERFUL. Oh man.</p>
<p>If I get rejected I don't think I'll be able to go to shp ever again.</p>
<p>I'm in SHP too, yo some of us should meet up for lunch on Saturday....btw I'm applying RD</p>
<p>BUMP BUMP!!
