<p>Hello all, I'm new here. I'm talking about the High School Honors Science Program held at Michigan State. I searched CC and apparently people were notified ~April 11-14 in 2007. Has anybody heard from them yet?</p>
<p>My son received an e-mail acceptance notice on April 10th. The program requests us to send an acknowledgement notice with a $100 deposit to the program by April 20th. However, my son couldn’t decide which program he will go between UPenn M&T SI and HSHSP yet. We know that HSHSP will be more competative, but last year he already went a 6-week research program offered by Washington Univ. in St. Louis (STARS program) and wants to have an experience in business area this year. So we couldn’t decide yet…</p>
<p>Has anybody gotten an official rejection yet from HSHSP? Or, if you applied to HSHSP before, did you get rejection emails or not?</p>

Dear xxxx</p>
<p>Thank you for your application to the 2009 High School Honors Science/Mathematics/Engineering Program. I have received many more applications from qualified students this year than I have spaces in the program. Therefore, unfortunately, I will not be able to include you as a participant. Know that this decision is not a reflection on your interest and ability in pursuing science, but in part a result of unfortunate logistical circumstances.</p>
<p>I commend you on the thought and work given to your academic studies and other activities and wish you the best in your pursuit of a research experience. </p>
<p>sad =[
good that i got into ssp, i guess</p>
<p>Klebian, did you send in your application pretty early? I sent it near the end of the cutoff date, so I want to know if they’re doing this on a rolling basis or not.</p>
<p>i sent mine on the deadline… got my rejection letter.</p>
<p>:[</p>
<p>rejected from all ssp, hshsp, and cornell nanotech,. :[[[</p>
<p>i sent mine on the deadline too, but i know my school sent my transcript and rec letters after :[</p>
<p>i hope they didn’t fill up all the spaces too early!</p>
<p>I got my email today… rejected :[[[</p>
<p>i sent mine in at the deadline. got the email that my app was received on the morning of april 8</p>
<p>Hey! I was accepted to hshsp 2009 and was wondering who else got in.
I made a facebook group but I don’t know anyone else who got in so so far its a sad, sad group :[
Join if you were accepted!
Can’t wait to meet all of you :]</p>
<p>I got my waitlist email April 18th.
I personally know two other waitlisters and I know of another from a nearby school. Can’t wait to get rejected :P</p>

<p>Dear XXXXXXXXXX,</p>
<p>You have been chosen as one of the alternates for the High School Honors Science/Mathematics/Engineering Program (HSHSP) at Michigan State University.</p>
<p>It is unfortunate that I must put you in this uncertain position, but I hope that you will be patient with this process. I am hoping to complete the admissions process by the first week of May; I will notify you of your status electronically. </p>
<p>Please return the bottom portion of this e-mail to Katie Cantin at <a href=“mailto:cantin@msu.edu”>cantin@msu.edu</a> as soon as possible to reserve your alternate status or to notify me that you no longer wish to be considered for the program. I will notify you as soon as I can provide you with more definitive information. NOTE that if your school calendar makes it impossible for you to arrive on the first day of the program (Sunday, 21 June) please do NOT indicate that you are willing to serve as an Alternate. Unfortunately, because of the intense nature of the program, late arrivals cannot be permitted.</p>
<p>I congratulate you on your academic achievements. Many applications have been received for the HSHSP this year, and the selection process is proving once again to be a difficult one.</p>
<p>Sincerely yours,</p>
<p>Dr. Gail Richmond
Director"</p>
<p>Hey Sweet Mom,</p>
<p>Did you have to send the deposit and acceptance by snail mail? And was it supposed to be postmarked by April 20th, or in their hands by then?</p>
<p>I’m weighing my chances of getting rejected :P</p>
<p>Yes. We sent a deposit and an acceptance mail to HSHSP already.</p>
<p>Thanks for the update.</p>
<p>Our son is planning to attend 2009 HSHSP program. We are interested in hearing from others from Iowa, Illinois area who are planning to attend this program.</p>
