<p>I’m aware. I’ll be emailing my essays before midnight.</p>

382

<p>It’s okay if it’s postmarked by today, right?</p>

383

<p>@biovball: Since it says “postmarked” on one of the official HSHSP documents (though this is contradicted elsewhere), I assume you’ll be fine.</p>

384

<p>Just submitted. Good luck to you all!</p>

385

<p>^ whoa submitting the application right before the deadline is quite risky ;)</p>

386

<p>I’m living life on the edge.</p>

387

<p>I assume that these are the important ones you’ll want:</p>

<p>4.00 UW GPA
2360/36
8 AP classes, 10 tests
No research experience
USAMO</p>

<p>We had a pretty solid number of 2400s attending as well; most had 4.00s and impressive objectives. A decent number of us had research experience, others didn’t.</p>

<p>thanks a lot stressedasian152. </p>

<p>I dont know if we will find out this month.</p>

392

<p>@stressedasian152, is there a way to get a hold of abstracts of past years’ projects?</p>

<p>Our project titles are here.</p>

<p>You definitely won’t be finding out this month. If I recall, last year I personally found out April…23rd or 24th, according to my facebook status.</p>

394

<p>I wrote my essay about a book about the Immortal life of Henrietta Lacks but it wasn’t a school assigned book. I feel like I should have tried harder on these essays though. Will this hurt my chances?</p>

395

<p>Did anyone get confirmation emails about their apps??? I think they should have arrived by now.</p>

396

<p>I have not received confirmation.</p>

397

<p>i emailed my entire app, still no confirmation</p>

398

<p>My S got an e-mail asked for “missing” recs and transcripts (that actually had been submitted already) right after the due date, and got the confirmation e-mail couple days ago.</p>

399

<p>The people last year received acceptance emails after 2 weeks…and I haven’t received any confirmation email yet :frowning: :(</p>

<p>same… we probably just need to stop being worried about it. Just keep fingers crossed and enjoy rest of junior year. :)</p>
