Has anyone heard back yet with acceptances/rejections? I thought I heard the application deadline was later this year… does anyone have an idea when we should start hearing back if deadline was March 1st? I received an email saying they had received all of my app. materials and would be reviewing and getting back to me shortly… Wait is killing meh
i haven’t heard back either, but last year people started hearing back around the beginning of april
That’s what I have heard as well. I am really hoping to get into this program.
What are y’all’s stats?
If I haven’t received a confirmation email yet, should I email them?
I haven’t received any confirmation yet.
I’m worried about the application because there was nowhere to put research experience or extracurriculars or awards even. Just the essays. So, I’m not sure about the whole thing.
I got my confirmation email at the beginning of March, so you should probably email them to ask.
It is really weird that they didn’t ask for extracurriculars. April is coming soon so the decisions should be coming soon!
I hope it’s soon lol. I reaallllyyy don’t want to spend another summer at home…
Can someone please post the contents of their confirmation email?
Well I first received an email back directly from Dr. Richmond and literally all it said was ¨thanks.¨ Then a few weeks later I got one from ¨Teacher Education¨ that said: ¨Dear Ryan, We wanted to inform you that we have received all of your HSHSP application materials. The committee will begin reviewing applications shortly. If you have any further questions, please let us know! Thanks, TE Team¨
Doesn´t tell us much tho 
I would definitely email her tho if u havent received it yet.
I haven’t received anything yet either. I think I saw somewhere that May 1st is the official day when they release acceptances. Since I believe Dr. Richmond is the one who goes over all the applications (perhaps by herself??), it does take a long time. And since the program is extremely prestigious and selective, the applications process is very intricate and lengthy.
I’m hoping for the best, good luck to all!
@hyperpi314 no, May 1 is when everything is FINALIZED. This means all the waitlist applicants will be admitted and no one else is being put under consideration. Last year, the first decisions (acceptances) came out at the end of March, but the previous years they came out beginning to mid April
@vxia12371 Thanks for clearing up the confusion! Now I am in an anticipatory mood, since they should release soon.
@hyperpi314 haha same! I’m expecting decisions to come out around next week though. But I could be wrong
I just got an acceptance letter earlier today, so they should all start coming out soon.
@mnms1123 Wow! Nice job! Do you mind saying what was in the email and what your stats are?
I’m kinda getting anxious, practice before college decisions, lol.
@TheMainEstrange Thanks! The email said more or less what you would expect: We are pleased to accept you, look forward to hearing your confirmation, etc. There was an attached letter that you have to send by snail mail with the deposit money as well.
Not 100% sure what you want in the way of stats, by I had a 35 ACT and what I thought were pretty good activities and essays. Send me a pm if you want more info.
@mnms1123 Thanks for letting me know. Did you include your extra-curriculars? blink.gif I didn’t know you could, otherwise I would have! Hopefully it doesn’t affect my chances.
@TheMainEstrange If by include you mean subtly slide into the essays then yeah, they could be included.
@mnms1123 Ahhh, I guess that I sorta did that, lol. Tried not to go overboard because the program announcement said to not repeat all of our achievements, hahaha. Welp, I’m stuck waiting now.
