Harvard SSP Selectivity

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>So I'm interested in applying for SSP, and from what I've heard, it doesn't appear to be that selective. But what exactly does that mean?</p>

<p>I have about a 94 unweighted average (out of 100) with all AP and Honors courses, mid 600s on PSATS and SAT II's (haven't taken SAT I yet), so I'm not an outstanding student, but I'm pretty competitive at my school. </p>

<p>I'm wondering on where I fit into the whole selectivity at SSP. Are my scores/grades too low, average? I mean I have absolutely no idea, so I'm wondering if anyone can give me some details.</p>

<p>Just to add, I'm thinking about a Psych. Anthropology course (short session 2), and I have a bunch of english & psych. courses under my belt at high school, if that helps at all.</p>

<p>haha from what I can tell, you are good to go.
last year i did the SSP program with a bunch of friends from my school.
now i don't know how you would convert the 94 into the 4.0 scale, but all my friends got accepted and the lowest of their GPA was a 3.3.
as long as you don't screw around in your essays and say something retarded, i don't think you'll have any problem.</p>

<p>one of my friend took psych and anthropology but he wasn't outstanding in english and he never took psych before.</p>

<p>good luck!</p>
