<p>bump .</p>

4

<p>bump .</p>

5

<p>Your stats look good. I don't know how admissions for SSP works, but I will say that your PSAT is low for your class rank. I would strongly advise you to intensely study for the SAT.</p>

6

<p>yeah i know, im taking a SAT classroom course hope that helps
didnt study at all for PSAT, so i didnt think i would do well</p>

7

<p>oh wait my PSAT writing score is 61 not 51</p>

8

<p>bump .</p>

9

<p>bum 10 char</p>

10

<p>cmon people</p>

11

<p>ok this is getting sad</p>

12

<p>I am applyin to HSS as well but I am not worried int the least. The acceptance rate is 60 % mate ... if you don't get in you may as well jump of a bridge.</p>

13

<p>I went there summer 08. It was so awesome~~</p>

<p>I don't consider myself academically/EC strong, but still got in. (applied to the Stanford one too but didn't go. East > West~) I don't think you need to worry about getting accepted... I didn't even send in that great of an essay and it was all good.</p>

<p>I had no idea the acceptance rate was 60%! O_o I heard that people weren't accepted, but that many? Wow. I originally thought it was like...you apply and you're basically in. :P Haha, how ignorant of me. ><;;</p>

14

<p>your a junior,,, not reporting ACT or SAT scores....how are we supposed to help you???</p>

<p>i know it's not all about scores but give us a break!!!</p>

15

<p>I went in 2007, and my opinion is that admissions for SSP is not selective at all. I think you'll be fine. </p>

<p>And I highly recommend it, because it was, hands down, the best summer of my life.</p>

16

<p>Don't worry, you're in. I went in the summer of 2007 and it was a wonderful experience.</p>

17
