<p>Yes, because I gave my teacher a addressed and stamped envelope ...
on the website it says still no rec ..
THIS IS ANNOYING</p>
<p>That's really weird. My recs took around 1-2 weeks for the website to say that they received them. If it's been over 2 weeks, call the SSP office and ask them what you should do. They may have lost the rec in the mail, but I think you still have plenty of time to get another one filled out if necessary.</p>
<p>everyone seems to be done with the application process, but the website says the deadline is june 4,
are the decisions based on space availability?</p>
<p>Partly, yes. Most people think it's super easy to be accepted...unless your GPA is just really low. I think they have plenty of space though.</p>
<p>"All of your admission materials have been received and your 2007 application is under review. From mid-January to June 15, we notify you by e-mail and letter as soon as a decision is reached. After June 15, we send only e-mail notification. Calling us will not speed up the admissions process."</p>
<p>YES!!</p>
<p>finally!! Haha. I hope you get in!</p>
<p>thanks spiffystars!
im still waiting .. how long did it take it for you?</p>
<p>They actually made a decision 1 day after they accepted all my materials. :]</p>
<p>so for anyone has gotten into the program already, how elaborate were you with the question 5-7 on the supplementary application? they seem to call for such trite answers.</p>
<p>you guys seriously shouldn't worry about your app....the admission rate is like 80%...i mean seriously if you are even okay you will make it....doesn't mean it will be easy depending on the classes you take but you will get admitted easily</p>
<p>Dear Mr. [MY NAME],</p>
<p>Congratulations! We are pleased to tell you that you have been admitted to
the Secondary School Program (SSP) of the 2007 Harvard Summer School.</p>
<p>--
YES!!</p>
<p>yayyy auxsoleil! we need to celebrate like woahh when we get there ^__^</p>
<p>to mock09 - the app is seriously a joke. i didn't put that much effort into my supplementary answers and still got in. just be yourself and don't stress over it! like lsingh said, the acceptance rate to ssp is extremely high.</p>
<p>what classes are you guys taking ??</p>
<p>I DONT EVEN KNOW!! i was thinking about intro to political philosophy. something to do with philosophy, government, journalism, or writing. i can't choose! nothing math or science related though. eww.</p>
<p>thanks spiffystars</p>
<p>Although i have not gotten in yet, i was looking @ the classes today and I thought the one on Space and Security sounded sweet.</p>
<p>bumpp :)</p>
<p>i actually want to do a science course ... apparently organic chem is impossible ... what else hmmm</p>
<p>has anyone taken biochemistry? i want to take that but they say its not recommended for ssp students. can anyone tell me how hard the class is? thanks.</p>
<p>i'm planning on taking biochemistry as well...where does it say its not recommended for ssp students? theres no prerequisites on it either..</p>
<p>BIOL S-100c Principles of Biochemistry (31815)

(4 credits: UN, GR, NC) T,Th 6-9 pm, Science Center, Hall A. Eight-week session. Required laboratories to be arranged. Tuition $2,275. Limited enrollment.
Harvard College students see additional information.
This course is an integrated introduction to the structure of macromolecules and a biochemical approach to protein function. The organization of macromolecules is addressed through a discussion of their hierarchical structure, and a study of their assembly into complexes responsible for specific biological processes. Topics addressing protein function include enzyme kinetics, the characterization of major metabolic pathways and their interconnection into tightly regulated networks. Current laboratory techniques are discussed during lecture, and examples showing the organization of protein networks, and disease-linked protein profiles are drawn from proteomic studies. The laboratory portion of the course exposes students to a broad range of experimental approaches, including affinity purification, enzyme kinetics, analysis of protein folding, and stability. The laboratory exercises are designed to give students a direct experience of research conducted in a modern laboratory.</p>
<p>hey.
took two writing courses last year, aced both, so the courses aren't too hard.
i got ridicilously cool teachers, laid back and intelligent.
i did shop the other courses like micro and chem, but didn't like the atmosphere in those.
take the smaller courses, it'll be more fun, trust.</p>
