HSHSP 2016

My son was accepted. From Georgia.

My S hasn’t gotten any response yet. He wrote Biology and Chemistry as his preferences, didn’t give any specific subfield. Could that have an impact on his chances?.it appears they were sending decisions till late April.

I haven’t gotten anything either. Probably rejection then? Oh well. I’m so happy and relieved that I managed to get off the waitlist for Garcia, otherwise I may well have not gotten into any summer program! (though I’m still waiting on SSP)

rejected just now :confused:

Sorry to hear that @itslitfam - Did you receive an email? Nothing yet for my S.

yes

I haven’t heard of anything yet… That fact that y’all received the email is making me so nervous…

Does anyone know the acceptance rate of this year’s group?

@Gnakiur i think last year was less than 10 percent…

Yeah, the acceptance rate this year is about 8 percent.

Are they done with admissions?

My S got rejection few mins back. Good luck to all who got in.

I got accecpted as an alternate a few hours ago? Is there any chance at all of getting in? I know that people who got in here and also got into ssp or RSI or something may go that way, but it seems like there were a lot of alternates. My brother also was accepted as an alternate. Anyone know anything about this?

I still haven’t received any decision or email…

@hellounicorns I haven’t received anything either beyond the confirmation that they received my app [-(

Accepted!!! My areas were nuclear physics and astrophysics, since I did the Physics of Atomic Nuclei program last summer.

Is there a Facebook group for accepted students or anything yet?

Were you an alternate? Are they sending out acceptances to alternates yet?

The deadline for those accepted to “accept” their spot in the camp was April 20th. They will probably notify alternates of open spots soon I would assume.

Wait what? Has everyone else received a decision? They never emailed me anything.
