<p>I just got one.</p>

<p>Has anyone gotten notification if they were accepted or rejected yet?</p>

<p>The website says "by the second week of April" would that mean this week..?</p>

<p>YESS!</p>

<p>I'm in!</p>

<p>congrats! </p>

<p>did you get a letter or what? was it a thick envelope?</p>

<p>It was a THIN envelope. Arrived Saturday. I live nearby. If you're out of the area the mail not reach you for a little while.</p>

<p>yea, it figures, being in florida won't exactly speed up the process. what'd they tell you?</p>

<p>I don't want to spoil anyone's surprise. I probably shouldn't even have talked about the size of the envelope. I'll post what the letter says in a week or two.</p>

<p>wow congrats queendee</p>

<p>Thanks masamune. I wouldn't even have known about Yess if it wasn't for this board. When I learned about it there were only 5 days left to apply. I really had to rush to get transcripts, teacher recs and write the essay.</p>

<p>Spoil the surprise??? Could this be a "since so few people applied this year, everyone was accepted, here is a list of those who applied..."? We shall see...</p>

<p>I just found out from a friend that a girl from my old high school also in the LA area got into the YESS program.</p>

<p>Cool! I doubt I'll get in but I decided to apply anyway.</p>

<p>Yup, im actually in the website. In the bottom right hand corner pointing at the computer screen. If you have questions sn = drod871 in AIM</p>

<p>did tetrahedr0n get in?</p>

<p>I ended up not applying taffy. How bout you?</p>

<p>i found other stuff to apply to: Coast Guard Academy AIM, UCSC COSMOS, and Brown Summer Study.</p>

<p>anyone get letters? i still haven't gotten one</p>

<p>I probably shouldn't have inconvenienced my teachers to write recs for this as I face certain rejection - however, the application was good practice for other progs that I really had a chance in.</p>

<p>Decision: Rejected, as anticipated.</p>

<p>The rejection letter was short compared to the rejection letters I received from NASA SHARP and SSP. I anticipated my rejection from NASA SHARP, although SSP's rejection hit me hard.</p>

<p>Sorry to hear that Simfish. Are you still waiting for any other answers?</p>
