CALTECH YESS Summer Program 2009

<p>One more day! I’m just as nervous as everyone else! Best of luck to all though! </p>

<p>4% geez…this isn’t looking good for most of us! </p>

<p>Oh and does anyone know if you stand a better chance if you haven’t had any of the course material yet? I think I heard that from someone. Also does anyone know if they fill regional quotas? For example, do they take a certain number from California, the midwest, east-coast, etc.</p>

<p>zomg, sometime today we’ll all likely get our rejection letters O_O</p>

<p>Congrats to the few of you that are lucky enough to get in =]</p>

<p>hahah i’m with ya on that wisdom</p>

<p>Has anyone heard anything yet?</p>

<p>nada =\ But, all of the other emails we’ve recieved have been sometime during the afternoon… and I read somewhere they were sent out last year between 12 and 6… </p>

<p>-fingers crossed-</p>

<p>gah, i wish it would come already.</p>

<p>Anyone else religiously checking their emails at the moment…?</p>

<p>hahaha you’re talking to him…</p>

<p>i’m doing spring break work while checking…</p>

<p>My hands about to fall off, I don’t think I can possibly take notes any more ferociously out of anxiety…</p>

<p>Thank you =] </p>

<p>I’m not an affirmative action minority… </p>

<p>But, my parents are from Trinidad, and I’m Indian… (whole migration in the 1800’s ordeal…)</p>

<p>Idk if that’d improve my chances, since I’m technically an east-west indian - american o-o</p>

<p>lol.</p>

<p>nope, not really minority, i know this is a heavy program for it. so acceptance chances prob aren’t high</p>

<p>my psat sucked. i def choked. it was something like 191</p>

<p>i’m black, my sat was 2250</p>

<p>psat = 212
