@keileenorthcutt You will get the response in two weeks.
@TheMadScientistX that’s still really good!! They usually take a good amount of people off of the waiting list each year
dang they got decisions out fast this year. I think I’m screwed because I told my teachers they could get the rec done by the 15th. Oh well, congrats to everyone who made it
Aw man, rejected.
PSAT: 1510
Essays are all extremely good; spent a good two months on them.
Recs: very good
UW: 3.95
W.4.8 (competitive Californian school)
I think I got rejected because of my extremely high income and the fact that I am Korean.
Good luck to everyone else!
@sublimekorean Sorry to hear that. Korean is not considered as minority in STEM. Will you apply to AI4ALL?

Lors were extremely good and my essays were not bad. im from a middle income family and i am a female but im korean so i guessss that also played a role in my decision
i wish i had known the program earlier… 
will definitely try again next year
congrats to everyone who got accepted!!!
Waitlisted
GPA: 98 UW 102 W
PSAT: 1450
ECs: Cancer research, officer positions in several clubs, hospital volunteer (200+ hours), etc.
Would it increase my chances of getting accepted from the wait-list if I were to update them on any awards or other noteworthy accomplishments?
@jjhh516 Sorry to hear that happened :(. How long did it take for your decision to come out? I submitted my final essay 2 days ago.
Has anyone heard from AI4all yet?
@jenny001 I also applied to AI4ALL, but my essays were far less refined than my SAMS. Haven’t heard any news from them yet (But I don’t have high hopes, because they only accepted 20 applicants last year out of 900).
@frgiven i submitted everything on 20th jan and received the decision on the 31st. decisions usually come out within 2 weeks 
@jjhh516 I am really sorry to hear that. But hey, if one door closes another will open.
@AhmedDiongue thank you so much! have a great summer at SAMS
@Bing__Boy I was accepted to SAMS in early Dec. Do you have a group chat that you have started?
For those who were on the waiting list for SAMS, how long before you got off the list?
Does anyone know if you are accepted to SAMS then you would not get into AI?
Rejected from AI4ALL. Congrats to those admitted
