ISSYP 2019

hey everyone!! i didn’t see an issyp 2019 discussion up yet so here it is!! anyone applying? i’m from new york and am hoping for the best! :^)

I’m applying from Massachusetts. Does anyone know how competitive admission is?

@Jedelm23 I applied last year (rejected, but it was understandable) and am hoping to be accepted this year instead. Competition is difficult since there are only 20 spots for students who aren’t from Canada. Good luck to everyone! I hope my application arrived on time… I believe the list of successful students will come out around May 1st, though I could be wrong.

Hello I applied for the first time this year from the Arkansas(lol) and am anxiously waiting ahhhh

Applied this year, I’m from Saint Lucia…hoping to get in. Fingers crossed??

I’m from Pennsylvania! I received my self-addressed postcard back (forgot I sent that). I have read many good things about this camp and the activities and visits they do there. Hope to be a part of it!

And wow, @Fabysecond , you live pretty far away from the camp. That’s actually super cool. Good luck!

Good luck everyone!! Admissions decisions tomorrow…

oh my God sorry **in two days LOL I keep thinking it’s the 30th for some reason

Ahh I forgot that there were 30 days in April. Very telling of what will likely happen to my application haha. Anyways, excited to finally hear back either way. Last year they released decisions when I was in my calculus class. It was a very effective way to make a difficult class more difficult to handle lol. Good luck! Please let us know how you do, everyone!

Hey everyone!
I’ve been looking for a thread like this all over the internet! Good luck tomorrow!

decisions posted on website

Rejected for two years in a row. Unexpected? Not quite. Disappointing? Yeah, a little.
Hope the rest of you got in.

Rejected, haha. Congrats on anyone who did get accepted though!

waitlisted! pleasantly surprised after being rejected from lists of less prestigious summer programs.
what are my chances of getting off the waitlist? especially since psi, hshsp, ipho, etc, overlap with it?

accepted! i have no idea if it is competitive or not but i got in this year and last year lol. didnt attend last year bc it overlapped w another summer program. im surprised they took me in again this year esp after i bombed my physics class lmao

I attended ISSYP 2018. There, I was told by one of our counselors that the overall acceptance rate is slightly lesser than 4% and is definitely lower for the international students.
