Fsu ysp 2020

Hi! I am new to college confidential, I was wondering if the essay prompt for FSU YSP is the same every year or if they change it. I want to get a head start on it if they don’t change it.

Hi! I’m applying here too. Anyone else? Due date in a few days!

I applied.

I did too. Anyone know when decisions will be out? I know they say May but I heard they usually release them earlier but I have no clue how early. Do they release them all at once or one by one?

What is ysp?

Young Scholars Program. It’s a STEM summer program for juniors.

Result should be out first week of April.

40 students, plus a short list of waitlist alternates if first 40 declined (not likely from past years reports)

Just curious, what are your guy’s stats, EC’s, etc

No point of posting stats. Many SAT in 1500’s got rejected in years past, many in 1200-1300’s got taken. I think it is more essay than anything else.

Yes, it seems like they base the decisions very heavily on the essay. Makes me a little nervous, writing is not my strong suit.

My essay was actually 700 words long… I fit it all on the paper though. Would that alter my chances of getting accepted?

Depends on if they find out. Doubt they will though, they have too many essays too really worry about word count.

No it says right in the instructions the actual word count does not matter as long as it fits on the page.

Acceptances are out.

Where? Email? Maybe it’s rolling… the three people I know who applied have not received anything. Program will likely be canceled unfortunately anyway
:frowning:

Email.

My school is back to school next week. Yours?

nope. Closed through April 15 at minimum.

congratulations on your acceptance!

Not me.

4 in my school applied, one received email acceptance.

Has anyone heard back since last week’s email?
