Google CSSI 2016-2017

congrats @JayLittle I’m also hoping to get into the Cambridge site.

Are they just calling people who applied for the scholarship or will we get a call if we just applied for CSSI?

I emailed the program and they told me notifications have not been released yet

Myself and a few other have already gotten acceptances. @SeattleChick

Just got a call. Got into NY CSSI. Very excited! :slight_smile:

Just got the call. Accepted to the NYC session of CSSI. No email yet. Call came from MI. Hispanic Female. GPA: 2.95 - 3.0 SAT: 1990. Extracurriculars: Awesome

Has anyone in California heard back?

I got in to the Mountain View Session!!! Ahhh I’m so excited :slight_smile:

@cpretiz did the number end in 7693? I’m from the Bay too that’s why!

What I heard one way to check if you got in or not is to check the status of your application. I was accepted and mine says complete, but others who still haven’t gotten the call says in review.

Decisions are out check your emails!

Can you guys who got in share your essays! I thought my essays were pretty strong but I didn’t get it!

I talked to a Google rep, one who helps choose students and recommended me to the program in the first place. Apparently there were a lot of students with amazing stats, essays, and going to the elite schools. However, CSSI wanted to have people of a range. There were less applicants will lower stats, so it was easier to be admitted. There was a high number of students with 3.7+ GPA and 2000+ SAT, etc. and they just couldn’t take them all. So I bet you had great essays, but if you had good stats that’s most likely why.

oh that makes sense! @SeattleChick thanks for sharing!

I got into the Seattle session! Not really sure how, but I’m still excited :smiley:
And @Ballerina016 I’m from CA.

Didn’t get in:( Congrats to those that did get in. Hope you have fun!!!

Hi guys! :slight_smile: I created a CC account just for this occasion. I received a call on Tuesday for the Seattle session and I will be attending this summer.
@MasterLillyclaw , would you be interested in making an FB group with me for all the Seattle peeps? :smiley:

Is anyone else doing the NYC session?

Hey guys; I made a Facebook group for those who got accepted to the Cambridge session. Please shoot me a message if you’re interested in joining.

Oh and a side note for everyone; Please post your essays (short answer responses) if they are available, so next year’s applicants know what Google is looking for :smiley: best of wishes to all
