I filled out both SAMS and AI4ALL essays. I under 300 words (because that was the limit). Some of my essay(s) were right at 300 words and the others were between 270-300.
300 words was the minimum not the limit wasn’t it.
@Bean_sir Yup, I had to fill out the AI4ALL questions before they got my application. As for essays, I left them with the default settings on Google Docs and just exported it to a word doc in one of the settings when I was finished.
As for how long my essays were, they were ~350 words each. My longest one went a little under 400 words. Don’t forget to save all your essays for next year, they could come in handy. Good luck!
are SAMS and AI4ALL different applications? or the same one?
my son applied for SAMS and recently found out he was rejected. he wants to apply to AI4ALL now, but the portal seems locked (not allowing any more submissions). is there a way to continue to submit the essays for AI4ALL?
@giovgianni231 Thanks for the help!
Waitlisted for SAMS 
Stats:
Asian male
first generation college student
SAT: 1570
PSAT: 1460
Class rank: 8/~415
Any idea what my chances of getting off the waitlist are? I really want to attend! Thanks
@yeetys hope you get in but you should apply to other programs just in case.
Hi everyone, I just finished applying for SAMS and uploaded all the docs (not AI4ALL). Is there any indication of when your application is “submitted”? Thanks.
@tacocat75 no there’s not, now you just have to wait 2 weeks or less for your decision
I just got accepted too! I’m waiting to hear from other programs like MITES before I decide where I’m going… anyone know how long I can wait before submitting the $100 SAMS deposit? I’m also debating if I should finish the rest of the apps I was working on like Clark Scholars.
@magpie31415 I think you have a week to pay your deposit. Not sure though.
Did anyone get accepted into the AP/EA program?
Anybody have any clue how many more people they’ll be accepting? I found out about this program just this week, and I’m literally writing my supplements right now.
In my admission letter, they stated that close to 800 students will be attending, which includes all their various programs (AI4all, AP/EA, Architecture, etc.)
S’ application to AI4All is finally completed after the last teacher finally uploaded the rec letter today. He wants this program badly but doesn’t fit any of the categories the program is promoting. So this will be a long shot. Congrats to everyone who is accepted!
Also do I have to answer all of the AI4ALL quesitons if I’m applying for SAMS? Please help I have like 4 hours guys
also good luck to @whataboutcollege and thanks @pineapplesSFL
