<p>For those of you in the vicinity and took the exam for the SHP, how did you feel about th exam? Particularly the "Challenge" Math section. I have been warned that it would resemble the AMC, but it turned out to be only slightly harder than SAT math. Also, how many examinees do you think there were, and how many would Columbia admit? Based on the difficulty of the exam, I have a feeling that a large percentage of students would be admitted, meaning the program involves little competition.</p>
<p>i thought so too last year when i took it, but on the letter it said they admitted around 200 out of 1000+ kids who took it</p>
<p>what does SHP stand for?</p>
<p>Do they let 2006 juniors get into the program. Forgot to hand in the application this year DAMN :(</p>
<p>SHP = Science Honors Program.</p>
<p>So the admittance rate is 1/5? It is a bit more competitive than I thought.</p>
