<p>No email here. But on more cawledge trips with noone at my house so if they’re calling, I won’t know until Tuesday. Maybe this is a semifinalist round or something.</p>
<p>Are they doing it in waves? No call, no e-mail for me either.</p>
<p>just got the “seriously considered in a second evaluation” rejection email. Good luck to everyone still in the runing.</p>
<p>no emails yet…fingers crossed</p>
<p>Just got the second evaluation email, rejected. :(</p>
<p>Apoc and Original are still in.</p>
<p>Just got the “second round evaluation” rejection. But it’s cool; I’m going to COSMOS.</p>
<p>I have not recieved an email yet. I guess I made it past second round evaluations? Although, I got into SSP too so I’m wondering:</p>
<p>Which would you guys choose, SSP or Clark?</p>
<p>I didn’t apply to SSP, but I would probably still choose Clark since I’m not too interested in astronomy and the likes.</p>
<p>No email yet - good sign?</p>
<p>rejected. i hate myself. i feel like such an idiot. i was denied from TASP, as well. the past few weeks have destroyed any self-confidence i once had. i honestly feel like i have no chance at doing anything mildly successful with my life. i want to cry. how am i supposed to tell my parents? the worst part is that literally everyone in my school thinks i’m a genius and expects me to get into harvard because they have no idea how impossible it is to get accepted. i think i’m destined for disappointment.

<p>Wow they didn’t send out emails last year… only snail mail.</p>
<p>But to those who didn’t get the email… it probably means you made the top 30! It’ll be one more week before Dr. San Fran narrows it down to 15 and starts calling everyone. :)</p>
<p>To those who weren’t accepted… keep this in perspective:
Even the most selective colleges all take 1700+ kids each. Clark takes 12 total. So don’t linger on this for too long, and find something that you enjoy to occupy your summer. All of us will face disappointments in life. It’s how we react to them that differentiates who is successful and who is not.</p>
<p>Still no email but now I’m nervous: I didn’t expect to get in to the program, so I wasn’t paying much attention to the process. Now that I may be in the top 30, I’m freaking out :S. Its like college decisions all over again.</p>
<p>leahmarie, everyone used to have super-high expectations for me, too. It’s like the first time you get a C (or even B) on a test–the next time hurts less.</p>
<p>Speaking of which, I learned today that I got a C on my last chem test! failz.</p>
<p>Oh, leahmarie–read [url=<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/summer-programs/1128969-when-one-door-closes.html]this[/url”>When one door closes..... - Summer Programs - College Confidential Forums]this[/url</a>]. A few times, too.</p>
<p>@leahmarie, it’s okay. I was rejected from TASP too (and MITES actually); it stung a bit but Clark stung more because I really wanted to get in. I’ve applied to other internships and such in the meantime though, and you should find some alternatives to apply to as well. Being rejected from these programs doesn’t mean much, because think about the statistics! Only 12 people get accepted, and it doesn’t mean you are a horrible person. Like chaseholl says, it’s like getting a bad grade on a test. Everyone has his/her ups and downs, regardless of how brilliant you are usually. Honestly, knowing that I did my best on my applications for these programs means that I don’t really feel anything about the rejections anymore. Put your hopes in something else and know that you’ll be able to persevere and do something good with your life, regardless of your rejections to these programs.</p>
<p>No email yet. My stats were pretty good but not great, and my essay/research interests were … meh.</p>
<p>thanks, guys.</p>
<p>Got the email. Rejected.</p>
<p>@leahmarie: Batfan is right, being rejected isn’t the end of the world. Acceptance into the Clark’s program isn’t the ticket to success. I feel exactly like you too. Everyone expects you to do well and get into Harvard just because you’ve been tagged as a genius. The other kids don’t really know about all the work that goes behind each success- nothing magically happens. I really wanted to make it since I enjoy research a lot, but I’m not too mad because I have a lot else planned for the summer.</p>
<p>I actually felt kinda special when they said I was “seriously considered in the second round” but it looks like everyone got that. Fμςκ! I knew I should have updated my credentials to include that I’m school mascot- why do I do these things!</p>
