Google CSSI 2017

Anyone hear back/know the timeline as to when we will hear back…

I live in Texas so I put Atlanta on the app when I applied since it’s “closest”. Had no idea that there were only two residential locations. I have a feeling that that means those two locations will be the most selective since so many people dont live in driving distance to an hq. I’ll keep the faith, really hoping I’m selected for the scholarship and program.

My daughter got a reply to her email query about her application. She never got any email confirmation that it had been submitted. The reply indicated that if her application says “Complete” then it is fine. But no actual individual confirmation was provided in the email. And, she was told that they hoped to communicate final decisions by early May.

@profdad2021 Darn! I hoped we would find out by mid April (because in one of their emails they say " All applicants will be notified by mid April."). I guess the volume of applicants increased even more this year.
Thanks for emailing them - at least now we know.
@NaijaKing21 SAME [-O< I feel even more scared cuz I’m an international applicant. Fingers crossed for everyone on this forum!

I bet those who get the scholarship or CSSI will find out earlier. The rest probably will wait longer. Just my guess!

what experience does everyone have with CS?

I think google wants a variety of experiences. My daughter has had two years of CS snd has done a few programming competitions.

Yup! Three years CS, two years computer engineering/technology, robotics experience. How about everyone else?

Three years of CS, multiple programming competitions, state programming champion

two years of CS, girls who code, robotics, programming competitions

about two years of CS, Girls Who Code, and hackathons

oh wow y’all are impressive! i think CSSI targets people without much experience in CS, but they admit people from all experience level. im in ap computer science principles and only know javascript and html. so definitely a beginner :stuck_out_tongue:

Has anyone who applied to the scholarship heard back yet?

@sweatearl Ditto! Inquiring minds want to know!

I have 2 years of experience, mostly java and a little C++. Hoping to hear back soon

Has anyone heard back? I know last year’s students heard by now

Last year, scholarship winners had heard by now. Two years ago, it was about April 13 or so when scholarship winners were notified.

But last year, for those getting into CSSI (but no scholarship), some were hearing as late as the first of May.

Hoping they start calling scholarship winners soon and wouldn’t it be great if someone here on college confidential could be a winner?!!

we’ll know very soon! i applied to the boston residential session because I live in Florida :frowning: i hope its not too competitive to get into that one

Hey everyone! I am currently awaiting the results as well! Fingers crossed for all of us! I live closest to the Los Angeles Google Headquarters but thats 800 miles away… Hahah. So I’ll probably go to a residental camp if I’m chosen!

I’m waiting to hear back also! Do they call you or email you?
