HSHSP 2018

@kimchijar Yep. However some of my materials went in late and I received a late confirmation.

Why did some people already receive information and when are the results supposed to come out for the rest of the applicants?

@AntonBivens Not sure… maybe they chose the outstanding applicants first, and are deliberating on the rest?

accepted!

@hollyjolly NICE! Are you going to go?

@TheMainEstrange yeah! i’m super stoked that I got in lol. do you know if there’s an fb group already?

@hollyjolly I don’t think so. I don’t have/probably won’t get a Facebook (considering what has gone down recently, lol). We’ll see what happens.

I still haven’t received anything yet, and as time passes by I get more nervous.

Congrats @hollyjolly ! If it isn’t too much trouble could you tell us when you have to accept the invitation by? I think all of the decisions should by out by then hopefully

@dddgggooo We had to accept by today (the applicants who received decisions early on,) @TheMainEstrange looking forward to meeting you!

I think the admission comes out in waves, so does the rejections

@dddgggooo Thanks so much!! I had until the 16th to accept, so I was probably part of the second wave

@lightninglord Ya, I am super excited. I just want to get AP’s done and over with. 2 weeks of pain, then I am pretty much home free, lol.

just accepted!

@kimchijar Great! Way to go!

@TheMainEstrange would be it possible to read your essays. I think mine were terrible and I wanted to see what essays were good enough to make HSHSP

Yeah, I’d really appreciate seeing what HSHSP-worthy essays look like if anyone who was accepted doesn’t mind sharing them.

@izya534 @nicekid Same.

@kimchijar Congrats!!

Also, did anyone else receive anything yet? It seems that there already have been 2 rounds/waves of acceptance/rejection notifications.

Actually, I saw this on the HSHSP’s website: “May 1st- Dr. Richmond has made final decisions regarding program positions” So that will probably answer all of our questions regarding result release dates.

@hyperpi314 Yeah I saw that too, but that’s basically when all of the acceptees have to confirm or something so all results should come out well before then. Everything is so random though… lol I hate not knowing the specific date my results are coming lmao, it’s so stressful :confused: (I still haven’t gotten any results yet)

She’s doing rolling admissions. The 2nd wave’s confirmation date was today, so most likely if you haven’t been contacted, it’s a rejection of wait list. I believe this was similar to last year’s time frame too, where wait listed applicants were contacted after the 2nd confirmation date.

Any alums - How are the nuclear physics research projects? I’m accepted but worried I won’t get to do a nuclear physics project. Have any of the nuclear physics projects made it to intel/regeneron? Is there any way to see what projects made it to intel/regeneron last year from HSHSP?
