<p>Hi, I am applying to HSHSP as well.
Looking at this thread, it seems that most projects are biology/chemistry/physics related. Are there are any chances to conduct research in mathematics?</p>
<p>Also curious, are there any research opportunities in computer science?</p>
<p>Why don’t you two contact the program coordinator instead of asking random people on a forum?</p>
<p>lol. ya you shuld ask dr. richmond she’s really nice :). i don’t remember any mathematics or computer science projects? do you phoenix?</p>
<p>does anyone know how quickly they inform you of your acceptance/rejection?</p>
<p>Hi guys I’m also applying to HSHSP.
Just wondering, how did you guys report your “official” standardized test scores…? Aren’t cb score reports just for colleges?</p>
<p>Nope, they can be used for scholarships and whatnot, too.</p>
<p>Copy the score packet they mailed to you and send it in (my school does this; it’s included with our transcripts).</p>
<p>The essays I wrote for this are so bad and awkward, I really hope that doctor person doesn’t put too much weight on it.
For the book one, I wrote about my Calculus book.
For the one about scientific interest I was very abstract and wrote some corny statements about how I wanted to improve the world through science. I didn’t incorporate any information about my extracurricular activities like that other poster managed to do.</p>
<p>What did you guys write for your essays?</p>
<p>Essays are usually, uh, pretty important.</p>
<p>For scientific interest, I would focus on something a bit more specific, even just a particular field. Specifics are good (isn’t that what they tell you on the SAT/ACT essays?).</p>
<p>you can take a picture of your scores from collegeboard and send it to her. also i wouldnt write about your calculus book lol… (is this the prompt that asked what book inspired you or something? thats what it was last year) i think essays are important…</p>
<p>If done creatively, I think writing about a calculus textbook is quite innovative, actually. A tad cheesy, yes, but it seems unique.</p>
<p>Unless, of course, everyone else is writing about their textbooks, too?</p>
<p>lol I’m not using my textbook. But cheesy wouldn’t really work against you here. If the way you think about math/solving any problems was altered in any way because of a class you took and the textbook you used, go ahead and write about it.</p>
<p>Anyone else applying to this program besides me?</p>
<p>I was, but I didn’t want to deal with the application. I already applied to four other programs and writing essays sucks. Especially as I’m supposed to be done with two for another program now but haven’t even started.</p>
<p>■■■.</p>
<p>I am, but I’m not really expecting much</p>
<p>Hey is anyone who has attended the program before, willing to look at my essay and offer their thoughts (and possibly correct for grammar and stuff).</p>
<p>Primarily how well my essay answers the question. I don’t think it does a very good job.</p>
<p>is anyone sending a resume in?
it doesn’t request one… but would it help?</p>
<p>Including an activities resume probably won’t hurt, but if they don’t ask for it, why bother? They might disqualify you for doing that (oh, the horrors!)</p>
