Hey guys, I was wondering about who else applied to HSHSP so I decided to create this forum. Also, if you have attended the program before can you tell us what the experience is like/if it’s worth it, how colleges consider the program/how It looks on applications, and were you able to do research in the area of interest you listed? Thanks!
My S just mailed his application materials today. Not so sure it’ll get delivered by tomorrow given the inclement weather is coming tonight.
I also applied! Sent my materials yesterday, so they arrived today. Has anyone received a confirmation yet? Also, were we supposed to send a resume with our application - i did not 
It didn’t say too so I didn’t send mine either but I sent the application in about 2 weeks ago so I got a confirmation.
@xsos15 approximately how long after you submitted it did you receive a confirmation?
I got my confirmation about a week after I submitted.
@xsos15
This program is very prestigious. It sends people to T20s and other great colleges. I would rank it as a Tier 2 summer program, Tier 1 being RSI and TASP. The total acceptance rate is something like 4%-5%.
Has anyone heard back yet?
My decision came back some time late April last year. Hang it there!
@GoBears2023 did you send a resume with your application? If not, how did you talk about your research experience and other extracurriculars? Did you subtly flex in the essays 
No, I didn’t send my resume. I flexed on my essays and also implied stuff 
I emailed the camp director, Gail Richmond, and she said I could send a resume, but reading past years’ posts, I don’t think it would help much unless it shows some big research experiences, but then again, lots of people have made it in without any experience.
The real flex is not trying to work in things to the essay at all and banking that your rec letters are good enough to cover that stuff. That’s what I’m telling myself, anyway.
@Ivysaurman That’s a reee cuz I gave my teachers the prompt on the site and it said not to focus on the student’s accomplishments.
Hahaha same here ahhh I’m just praying at this point lol
rip i guess we all are. Anyone who sees this. Please post if you get waitlist/rejection/acceptance emails. I hear they do a rolling acceptance but it’ll be cool to know if anyone hears back!
Hey, maybe they’ll see my app as a refreshing change of pace ???
Haha same that’s the attitude!!!
Does anyone know when decisions will be released?
I was wondering the same thing. In past years they started to be released on the 30th, but I haven’t heard anything yet. Which sucks because I got an offer from BU and have to confirm soon
has anyone heard back yet?
