CALTECH YESS Summer Program 2009

<p>I signing up this year but my SAT is not very high(LOW) T_T… My class rank is 21/580 (i guess) my GPA is around 3.67(not weight)… And I’m Asian… Do you think they might accept me? Or I shouldn’t even try?/! What is the kind of students that they want?</p>

<p>@nunominum, I don’t know whether those stats could get you into YESS or not, but I do know that if you don’t apply, your chances of getting in are 0%. You never know, I’d go ahead and apply and just see what happens. Good luck!</p>

<p>hey is anyone else having an issue with setting up an application account?</p>

<p>i know this is the 2009 thread but i didnt see a 2010 one. i was wondering if yess requires copies of official score reports for the sat or if an online printout is acceptable?
thank you!</p>

<p>arghhhh why isn’t the application website working?!?!?!</p>

<p>deadlines extended now. yay</p>

<p>seriously? till when? damn why did i turn mine in early for once hehe</p>

<p>That was shocking…
I haven’t finished my online application and I just went on the site to finish it, but it’s down.</p>

<p>Umm, are you sure they’re extending it? They said to e-mail them the essay, but I haven’t finished my ecs section and counselor section…</p>

<p>@hpaero1:
did u just email them??? i need to finish my essay section too >.<</p>

<p>No, i didn’t call them
It says on the site under existing users to e-mail the essay… but I haven’t finished other sections of my online app. I just e-mailed them asking if they will extend…</p>

<p>They better extend it cuz I already mailed my supplemental stuff.</p>

<p>Oh, by the way, when it says that the online application is due February 26, 2010, does that mean like 12 am (today) or before February 27?</p>

<p>edit: I haven’t finished my essay section too.</p>

<p>OH thank goodness. That scared me for a second. I’m gonna assume that it means it is due before Feb. 27 since most applications are conducted in that manner, but could someone please confirm that?</p>

<p>^
did you already have an account before the thing stopped working?</p>

<p>Hmmm, that would be nice because I need the time. </p>

<p>They should extend it though, right? I mean it’s originally due Feb 26 but the site hasn’t been working… which means many people haven’t been able to do their online apps.</p>

<p>Yes I did. I really hope they do and I think there is a good chance that they will, but at least I believe that it will be due tomorrow night. I still haven’t finished filling out my activities section and I have to paste my essay in so…</p>

<p>wait: We will extend the deadline if possible when the system is back online. </p>

<p>so I think they will extend it.</p>

<p>Ohhh… Okay yay.
That’s good then.</p>

<p>Yeah, i only filled out my contact information part and a bit of the ec stuff.</p>

<p>Where are you guys reading that they are postponing the deadline?
and where did you email it to?</p>

<p>Well, I think that most people probably looked at the New Application part and they stated that they will extend the deadline if possible. </p>

<p>Its those last two words that worry me though. The other thing they told us is to email your essays to <a href=“mailto:yess@caltech.edu”>yess@caltech.edu</a> if you finished most of your app… I’m not sure what to do as I only filled in the first two pages so far…</p>

<p>i emailed my essay but i haven’t heard anything from them… do u guys think that they will tell me if they receive it or not…???</p>

<p>@TypicalAsian
Yeah. Those two words worry me too… if possible???</p>

<p>Same here, I only filled out some of it.</p>

<p>I e-mailed them about the possible extension and what to do if I haven’t finished most of my online app, but I haven’t heard anything… yet. I e-mailed them yesterday.</p>
