@bhoangluu Thank you very much for sharing your information. I will ask my son to apply for AI4ALL, but we won’t be disappointed if getting rejected since his EC in CS is not strong.
@JKMSNJ There were 19 students for last summer. I hope they are increasing to ~25 this year.
@jenny001 no problem! If you need any help with the internship / nonprofit stuff, feel free to PM me.
For the essays, there’s a 300-word minimum, but no maximum right?
on the SAMS portal, it says my unofficial transcript has been received, but it’s “awaiting” on my transcript for the high school I attended… is this normal? There is no place to submit my high school transcript beside the unofficial one.
@TheMadScientistX no maximum, but, personally, I don’t recommend writing over 500
Do you know how many students apply to SAMS and how many get in?
It’s decently competitive, with ~10-15 percent acceptance rate. Are you considering attending some other programs instead of SAMS?
@Bing__Boy I just got waitlisted the other day and the letter mentioned that 1600 apply and only 120 are accepted
@sublimekorean No, I was just curious about the acceptance rates. Usually, acceptance rates show how competitive a program is. Did you apply this year?
@Bing__Boy Yea, I just submitted my application yesterday! I really hope I get admitted!
Hi SAMS 18 Alunmi, I am just bored. If you have any questions let me know I’ll try to stick around this thread for a bit. I got into SAMS without a rec letter so if I made it you can too! Try to turn in the app asap they do rolling admissions!
@bhoangluu Thank you for your response, that was really helpful.
