<p>Just got something today...rejection letter. If there is a waitlist letter someone please speak out.</p>
<p>Also, is there anyone not boing for sure?</p>
<p>i hope there's a waiting list.
since 8 out of 80 applicants from CC were accepted.
& they normally wait list 10 applicants.
statistically,at least one person should be waitlisted on CC, right?
but i don't know!</p>
<p>Rejected!
haha first rejection letter in my life,
but i was kinda ready for it so not too sore about it
just makes me wanna work harder!!</p>
<p>I have sad news guys...
If you got a rejection letter then it means that you aren't on the weight list. If you were weight-listed, it would say so. I also was rejected...I guess this is the end of the thread here for us. It was good to know everyone, too bad we can't meet at MITES.</p>
<p>How do we even know if there is a waitlist letter? No one has said anything else.</p>
<p>I'm guessing that MITES is just waiting to see who responds back or not. If there's not enough people, they will notify people who were rejected and offer them a slot. </p>
<p>Just a theory...</p>
<p>hahah. i like that theory!
but it seems like in the past. they always had wait lists.
does anyone know anyone from last year that was waitlisted and then accepted?</p>
<p>i still haven't gotten anything...</p>
<p>i'm waitlisted...sigh. I really wanted to get in</p>
<p>Really??? So there is a waitlist letter... what does the letter say?</p>
<p>Well sorry man, but at least you have a chance!</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Sigh, I mailed my letter today. It's official, I'm going to MITES :D</p>
<p>moi aussi! What were your top choices for electives? My top choice is Genetics research, and then the robotics one.</p>
<p>omg i can't really remember :p</p>
<p>ummm.... i think the genetics was top and i randomly filled the others in.</p>
<p>eh, i wanted to go to ssp sooo bad :(</p>
<p>Then why didn't you go?</p>
<p>To be honest if I had gotten into SSP, I still would of gone to MITES. It sounds much funner & rewarding. Plus MIT interests me alot more than Caltech.</p>
<p>I sent mine off today..
It should be getting there tomorrow..
For my electives i put EE first then ED and then robotics followed by genetics..</p>
<p>I put EE first as well. I love electronics (esp. computers, but I'm not picky).</p>
<p>Last week I was dying to see if I could get into MITES. Now I'm dying to know if I'm good enough for MIT. lol</p>
<p>SSP is an astronomy/science program? Sounds like fun, but MITES sounds like far MORE fun. btw. the ssp website looks more professional than the MITES website</p>
<p>Exactly how competitive is SSP? Harder to get into than MITES?</p>
<p>wow I was mistaking YESS & SSP. I applied to YESS, not SSP. I seriously considered applying there but all those applications are so time consuming and draining.</p>
<p>Anyway I put genomics first- I seriously hope I get that.
Than I had engineering, electronics, and last digital.</p>
<p>I sent my stuff in on Wednesday.
Hey have you guys had a tubercuolisis skin test?</p>
<p>yeah i have.. but it was like 6 years ago.. it's required before you begin 7th grade in my town.</p>
<p>"Hey have you guys had a tubercuolisis skin test?"
Lol. I was like...wtheck is that? I just left it blank i think...</p>
<p>Anyway, what's more prestigious: SSP or YESS? Are they akin to MITES and RSI?</p>
<p>Maybe SSP, but it excepts more people than YESS and is at a less prestigious college than Caltech. But overall it would seem from the web-site that SSP Is more prestigious.</p>
<p>But they are not analogous to MITES & RSI. Kinda totally diff. programs.</p>
<p>So have any of you checked flight ticket costs, for those who have to fly. How much are you probably lookin to pay & from where?</p>
