Baylor University High School Summer Science Research Program 2010

<p>Did anyone else apply!? </p>

<p>Has anyone attended a previous year? If so, can you tell me more about this program?</p>

<p>hey i applied here too</p>

<p>i would love to hear what participants from earlier years thought of it</p>

<p>Hey wolfee :)</p>

<p>So I’m so curious as to what the acceptance rate into this program is. I’m pretty sure that they only accept 10 people. I wonder how many applied? This program doesn’t seem to get any attention compared to the other summer programs that are often talked about on CC.</p>

<p>I thought they only accepted 1-2 high school students?</p>

<p>Or am I thinking of the wrong program?</p>

<p>Nope. Here is a list of the students from 2006:

<p>Did you apply too, fairydreams?</p>

<p>I applied also, and I was also wondering what the acceptance rate is…
I’m not sure exactly how many people they accept either because the number seems to vary each year…</p>

<p>I’m guessing that the number they accept stays the same, and that the reason for the differences in the number of people is because there is a different “yield rate” each summer. (i.e. if they accept 10 people, it is most likely that all 10 do not decide to attend.)</p>

<p>My friend went to this program, he went cuz he got rejected from RSI, HSHSP and SSTP if I remembered correctly.</p>

<p>What were his comments about the program? Did he enjoy it?</p>

<p>^dude, you reply wayyy fast…He enjoys it as far as i know.</p>

<p>I applied too! Idk if I’ll be accepted though, considering the limit is only 10 people</p>

<p>Hmmmm I wonder if they’ll notify everybody or just those who are accepted.</p>

<p>Did anybody receive a letter? Because I called a few days ago and the person who answered the phone said that letters were sent out this week, so it’s possible they only sent letters out to people who were accepted?</p>

<p>My friend said he didn’t get the notification until mid-April last year…</p>

<p>hey guys, i just got a letter today… and i was rejected :confused: eh…</p>

<p>apparently they only took 10 people out of 170 students</p>

<p>anyways, congrats to whoever got in! :)</p>

<p>aww i’m sorry…that’s a pretty low acceptance rate :(</p>

<p>@xxblair are you from texas? i wonder why i didn’t receive a letter yet…</p>

<p>yeah, i’m from texas. :]</p>

<p>i’m not too sad over the rejection (was kind of expecting it)
but i got into garcia… which was the only one i got into, but still haha, it was my first choice.</p>

<p>i’m pretty sure all the letters will be received by next week- ish?? it shouldn’t take too long, since i already got mine.</p>

<p>My friend just confirmed that he got his acceptance like a week ago, I think if you haven’t receive the rejection you are still in running, maybe as alternative or something like that. Anyways, I do have another friend who went to this program last year, he loved it and wished it could be longer…</p>

<p>Just curious, bestswimmer, what state is your friend from? That’s amazing that he got accepted!
I just found out that they have to accept 4 Texas applicants, so I guess my chances were pretty low :S</p>

<p>He is from TX… I don’t even know if it makes a difference… How many people applied this year?</p>
