CALTECH YESS Summer Program 2009

<p>^ So wait? It IS today?
X( SO CONFUSED
I didn’t get my confirmation email until like 10ish (central) so, it could still be coming I guess…</p>

<p>Did anyone else just get an email from Caltech, but not from YESS? Just one of those standard apply to us blah blah?</p>

<p>I just did, and I probably would have had a heart attack if I didn’t just get into MITES.</p>

<p>Yes my brother got it, but nothing from YESS.</p>

<p>@JayJay90: I think that they’re coming tomorrow man. Ugggghhhhhhh hope I get innnnnnnnnnnnnnn :D</p>

<p>Wait I didn’t get any email. I wonder if this is a leak of results, like if you got an email, then you got in :confused: Hope not :(</p>

<p>Jayay… haven’t you already accepted to another program?</p>

<p>Monday, April 12, 2010 - Due to the overwhelming number of applications, admission notifications are going out over a two day period. If you do not recieve correspondance on the 12th you should recieve something on April 13, 2010. Admissions decisions will be sent via email. Please do not contact us before then regarding decisions. Admissions decisions will not be given over the phone.</p>

<p>^ Ok Thanks. It’s official then.</p>

<p>@ sMITen: Yea, but YESS is my first choice.</p>

<p>Thank you for your application to the 2010 Caltech YESS program. We have completed our application review period and we regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you a space in this year’s program. </p>

<p>Admission to the YESS program was significantly competitive this year. The program received a record number of over 1500 applications. Unfortunately, we do not have space to admit all qualified candidates. </p>

<p>You are a highly-qualified applicant and you should be proud of your accomplishments. We encourage you to continue to pursue your interest in science and engineering and to consider applying for admission to Caltech next year. </p>

<p>We wish you the best in your future plans.</p>

<p>Me too :(. Oh well lol. To Michigan I go.</p>

<p>Anyone else got email?</p>

<p>Rejection too.
My brother told me he will try again the next year.
His stats:
Male white (only 7% at his school)
PSAT 172 (soph)
SATII 770 (soph)
AP Calc AB 5 (fresh)
AP Sat 3 (fresh)</p>

<p>I got a rejection e-mail, but I kind of expected it anyways. Ah well.</p>

<p>Whoa… they received 1500 applicants this year??? They only accept about 40, right?.
Wow that’s a lot of applicants.</p>

<p>I hope whoever gets in has a great time! =)</p>

<p>I got rejected as well, (expected), but it said that I am a sophomore, yet I’m a junior this year. And that is an incredibly low acceptance rate wow. Congrats to anybody if they got in :)</p>

<p>Accepted!!! and totally unexpected!!!</p>

<p>I got rejected.
Only problem is that I never applied to this program lol. I honestly don’t know why I got that email.</p>

<p>@TQSMNTASP
Congrats! Have fun. =)</p>

<p>@big_dreamer
that is weird… I know such a low acceptance rate! I was surprised.</p>

<p>@arsenalcrazy
Hahaha. How did you get the e-mail?? that’s really funny.</p>

<p>@hpaero1: Yeah i know! I put down junior, and my transcript contained grades from junior year…i don’t get it. </p>

<p>@TQSMNTASP: Woot woot, congrats :)</p>

<p>@TQSMNTASP
Congratulation.</p>

<p>Could you give us your stats?
I am wondering how they choose kids.
Is it better to have more challenging classes or to have more extra activities (volunteer work, pay job)?</p>

<p>@TQSMNTASP
CONGRATULATIONS? What were your qualifications? Are you under-represented minority?
Good job and enjoy your summer at CALTECH. It is lovely out there</p>
