Garcia Summer Scholar Program 2016

I called and was told being accepted. The formal stuff will be sent next week. Congratulations @ commielover.

Accepted as well!!! See you all there

congrats to you as well @bettytchen !! are y’all sure you are accepting or have you applied elsewhere? garcia was definitely in my top choices, but who knows, a miracle could happen hah

wait guys I haven’t been contacted at all. I haven’t received any confirmation emails, likely letters, etc. should I be worried and/or contact them?

Congrats! Did you guys get the likely letters through email or an actual physical letter?

And are you guys from New York?

@Ninjadu through email! im from the midwest

@Kallista definitely email in bc you should have gotten a confirmation email a while ago

Hmm, so I got a confirmation email, but no likely letter.

I suppose this means I most likely won’t be accepted? Darn.

@rk9109 While the likely letter guarantees an acceptance, everyone else still has a chance so don’t give up hope!

@Ninjadu I’m from NY, but not a well funded part of it.
Anyone know if they give financial aid?

I think they sent out acceptances via email today.

Just got notified today that I was waitlisted. Does anyone know how many people they usually put on the waitlist? I’m a sophomore so my chances of getting off the waitlist might be lower :stuck_out_tongue:

@Ninjadu I was waitlisted as well.

I was waitlisted too!! :confused:

Apparently there are 30 people total on the waitlist. When was everyone else notified that they were waitlisted?

@Ninjadu Wait how do you know there are 30 people on the waiting list?

I asked them through email.

kind of sucks that the accept deadline is april 10th bc there are a lot of other programs that don’t release results until after april 10th…

looking to apply next year as a sophomore. curious to know stats of anyone who has made it?

of AP's? prior research exp.? olympiad's? other?

Just noticed on the acceptance letter that the end date has been changed from tuesday the 9th to Wednesday the 10th. Was told the symposium was changed to Wednesday due to availability of space Tuesday and the students will have to stay an extra day and move out immediately after the symposium ends at 2 pm on Wednesday. Plan to call to ask if symposium can be changed to Monday or even the Friday prior so move out can done leisurely on Tuesday as initially planned. Parents who want to attend the symposium would appreciate taking a Monday or friday off of work or flying in on the weekend to attend. Anyone else have the same concerns?
