<p>rejected :(</p>
<p>Rejected. ugh.</p>
<p>accepted to eecs!! </p>
<p>@audaciously congrats</p>
<p>Wait list 
not sure what my chances are from here. MIT is definitely my dream school. This was the only summer program I applied to, but I already have a research internship in place for the summer and was hoping to somehow be able to do both. But congratulations to all who were accepted and if you were not, don’t worry for other opportunities will come your way. </p>
<p>@flipapino I did get that email!! Bizarre!</p>
<p>thank you, i hope the very best for you towards the future!</p>
<p>@womb4t I wish the very best for you!</p>
<p>does anyone know how many people they waitlist?</p>
<p>35</p>
<p>Thanks @KatyHWQ. I’m sorry you didn’t make it onto the program; I hope you find something else that’s exciting and wonderful to fill your summer. And @luvilykim, I found this on the FAQ’s of the website: <<We expect to admit 60 students–40 for the WTP-EECS track and 20 for the WTP-ME track. We also select a waiting list of about 25 students, in case any of the original 60 cannot accept admission. We do not add any denied students to the waiting list after admissions decisions are sent.</p>

<p>Hi everyone! I was just accepted to WTP but I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet! Congratulations to everyone who made it, and best wishes to everyone who didn’t (there are plenty of programs out there 
don’t be too upset). </p>
<p>Does anyone know how “prestigious” this program is? I would love to go but don’t have a great idea on how difficult it is to get in, how well colleges view it, etc. Does participation in WTP give an MIT applicant a boost? </p>
<p>Hi! I got into EECS and I’ve read on another college confidential thread that between 30-50% of women who attend WTP get accepted into MIT. It also helps to attend because you can get one of the graduate students to write you a letter of recommendation when you apply to MIT. I’ve heard it’s pretty prestigious, which is why I applied. Only about 10% of people who applied got into EECS and about 16% got into the program as a whole. I assume anything at MIT is prestigious and they said that the test scores of the accepted students are in the 90th percentile or higher.</p>
<p>My question for people who have attend is how much homework is there? The forms they send out make it sound intense and I just want to know how much homework I’ll have to do every night and how much free time I’ll have. Thanks a bunch! </p>
<p>I got accepted into ME…someone else got their results yet?</p>
<p>I got accepted to Me</p>
<p>@hannahmliu, danifraga
Congratulations! Did you accept the offer?</p>
<p>Our daughter was accepted to ME. She’s really looking forward to meeting and learning with some great people and July on MIT’s campus. Congrats all! </p>
<p>Also, we talked with a couple of previous WTP participants and they said that, yes, there is a lot of work but it’s very collaborative plus they have tutors/RA to give additional help. Even with all the work, each and every one said it was fantastic! </p>
<p>Thanks for letting me know! And yes, I will be attending!!! :D</p>
<p>My D attended WTP EECS and had a great experience. No doubt it was a lot of work, but she has made some great friends. The women who attended came from all over the country and have uniformly excellent college results–Harvard, Yale, Brown, Penn, Stanford and of course MIT. But this was already a high-performing group, so who’s to say how much having WTP on the resume influenced the colleges’ decisions. As a parent I appreciated that the program’s tuition was so little for a month of resource intensive study; there seemed to be as many instructors as students at times. It really shows that MIT was committed to developing these women rather than having this be a moneymaking summer camp. </p>
