Ask questions about summer programs here!

@CaliMex

Huh, I don’t know why. I’ll look into it!

Hi - I am new to this Forum and just got my COSMOS decision today and was sad to learnt that i was not admitted :frowning:
I applied for the ML cluster at UCSC. I am USACO PLatinum and have also passed AP CS with a 5.
I am really disappointed and would be great to get feedback about how I could have done better

Is it possible to message you directly and get your feedback?

@DaMSJ2023

Sure, shoot me a message. You’ll need like 6-7 more posts tho. I’ll just message you instead

@GoBears2023 any thoughts on UF SSTP?

I was rejected from RSI, SIMR, UC Davis YSP, COSMOS (UCSD), and waitlisted at Garcia. It seems like I need to improve on my essays. Could anyone who has been accepted into any of these programs share some of the ideas they had in their essays or any examples if possible? Based on previous threads, it seems like you need to show your passion for science, but I’m not sure how to do that. I would appreciate any advice. Thank you!

@curiousme2

UF SSTP is an amazing program. Would 100% recommend going!

@cloudslicer

We meet again :slight_smile:

I wouldn’t worry too much about summer programs. Lots of them are based on luck and they really don’t help too much for college admissions (except for RSI and SIMR). I got into a majority of the programs you listed and was selected as an alternate for RSI. For my essays, i focused around my love for computer science and the quirky intricacies of failure. I talked about simulations and the practicality of 3d visualizations as well. If you need more help, feel free to PM me or ask here!

Anyone know when Stanford AI4All decisions are coming out?

any comment on SSTP@Iowa? My S got accepted into it but still is waiting for other programs.

@GoBears2023 --Would you know of any Robotics Labs within universities that might be willing to entertain Freshmen for a short summer research project? I am asking for my S, who is into FTC and is finishing up with his freshman year. We live in the bay area.

Can you share your son’s stat? Wonder they admit most rising senior?

@CaliMex

I don’t know when decisions are coming out. I would assume very soon.

@JKMSNJ
Very good program. Definitely prepares students for undegrad research. One of the top 20 summer programs in the US for sure!

@HSClass2021
PM me with his stats and more of his ECs and I might be able to recommend you some professors / programs that you can apply for :slight_smile: I might even be able to pull some strings and get your son an internship but we’ll see.

@Valchoi
Who are you asking? Please use the “@” symbol so that it is easier to see who you are referring to.

@JKMSNJ
Can you share your son’s stats? I am an alternate at SSTP? Wonder how much chance to get in?

I called and they were overwhelmed with applications. Expect an email this week, they said. How many spots are there? 16?

@GoBears2023 -WIll PM after I hit my 15 posts :slight_smile:

Anyone knows when the result of Stanford AI4ALL will be out?

@AmberZhu123

I would estimate around mid April,

@GoBears2023
Congratulations to all of your admissions, you are my idol!
I want to ask your opinions about my summer offers this year. I am a 10th grader, got accepted to COSMOS, alternate status for Iowa SSTP and an admission to do a research at UCB ( group project , not prestigious as SSTP). Which one I should take?

@GoBears2023 How would you compare UF and Iowa SSTPs and BU Rise? Thanks!

AI4All decisions are now posted on the portal. Need alternative ideas for waitlisted 9th grade girl :frowning:
