<p>lol... I finally got my call. The guy researched my name and found my parents number... Called them, said he's been looking for me for 4 days and I had to call him from schoo on my cell phone. Interview went ok!</p>
<p>Did any commuters get phonecalls/interviews?</p>
<p>That's what I applied for, and still no mail and no phone call. Gee, I think i'm loosing sleep over this :P </p>
<p>Gotta stop refreshing this page.</p>
<p>lol you aren't the only one losing sleep, i still have to be interviewed! i hope they didn't give up on me or something...</p>
<p>Same here - tho I've kind of given up hope on SHARP because of the insane acceptance rate.</p>
<p>aww don't give up yet. i don't think they've gotten around to everyone yet</p>
<p>heyyy i finally got interviewed! some stats (i asked the lady)
abt 25% people are interviewed
abt 80% of the interviewed are accepted. </p>
<p>that means you have an 80% chance of getting in after the interview! ... just like everyone else...</p>
<p>interview went well...she seemed really nice =)</p>
<p>Yeah, I haven't been able to focus on anything at all. I keep thinking about it, and I can't fall asleep. I'd love for them to just surprise us all and not reject anybody who got an interview:) But, I doubt that will happen.</p>
<p>yep...april 15 is too far away...i wish they all just took a package of bawls and finished the decisions like...today...or something =)
(only joking - well...not entirely but still)</p>
<p>oh...and apparently tehy had called my house last tuesday for an interview...we just never recognized the name on the callerID and never picked up...yea...stupid us...</p>
<p>thanks wishful_thinker, now the interviewee acceptance rate is no longer a mystery.</p>
<p>I'm still hoping for an interview....
Has anyone from NY been called up yet?</p>
<p>umm, 80% of 25% is 20% of all students; but acceptance rate is 10%...</p>
<p>1/4 * 4/5 = 1/5. Does that mean 20% of people who apply are accepted?</p>
<p>DAMNIT i didnt read simfishes earlier post. O well, but yeah. I dont think acceptance rate is 20%</p>
<p>the acceptance rate is 10%...</p>
<p>okay...well that's just what the lady told me so sorry then. she said "about 25%" for the first part and she definitely said 80% of the people interviewed are accepted (well not exactly but still). so i'm guessing that it's really 1/8 of the people that get to be interviewed? </p>
<p>eh, whatever, they're stats. they'll change every year and they don't really help me right now because i just want to know the decisions.</p>
<p>if we get the acceptance letter, will they immediately tell us which university we are going to do research at?</p>
<p>yeah, probably</p>
<p>CALLING ALL NASA SHARP HOPEFULS</p>
<p>um, I'm REALLY interested in going to SHARP, I have the stats and my teachers love me.</p>
<p>Thing is, I'm an Asian male. </p>
<p>Isn't SHARP only for underrepresented minorities and groups? (Hispanic, African-Americans, etc)</p>
<p>well...it depends on alot of things that i don't even know about. </p>
<p>i'm asian too (but female...). </p>
<p>i read your profile on an rsi thread (are you still considering sharp even though you got into sharp?) -- you have the stats and the research...so unless there's some extra factor that they're looking for, you should be accepted. did they call you for an interview yet?</p>
<p>"are you still considering sharp even though you got into sharp?"</p>
<p>???????????????????????</p>
<p>eh...edit**: are you still considering sharp even though you got into RSI...
[that's what i get for editing my post too many times and forgetting to read it a last time...]</p>
