I wanted to make a thread for those applying to the National Youth Science Camp this year so that people could ask/ answer questions and hopefully get feedback from alumni!
I applied, do you know when decisions are released?
@asdkhl from previous years it seems like late March/ early April
I applied as well. Not getting my hopes up after seeing the resumes of the delegates from my state last year.
My daughter applied. We live in Utah. Last year only three people applied from our state, so if it is similar this year, she will have a good chance of getting accepted. This program would be perfect for her.
@pcmom1 wow only 3 people??
I was accepted! The program didn’t email me yet, I got an email from my state’s Department of Education.
a friend of mine got the call from Texas
I am the 1st Alternate for NY
@jeffrandell how did you hear? Was it an email from the program? A call? From your state? My daughter hasn’t heard anything yet.
I got a call from NYSED
I got a call, NY delegate here Excited to meet you all at the camp!
@stole congrats! What state are you from?
@asdkhl I’m from NJ. Were you accepted?
@stolbr I haven’t heard anything yet, but since this is run by individual states, i think a lot of states just haven’t announced yet. I’m from KS and we’re always slow with these sorts of things
My daughter just found out she was accepted. Utah. She is so excited. We don’t know how many people applied this year, but, i guess it doesn’t really matter.
Congratulations to your daughter!
I found out that I was selected on March 20th from the Oklahoma Department of Education. I accepted my spot and will be attending. I just found this thread, so I am excited to meet you all. Is there a group chat?
Hey! So I applied this year and I haven’t heard back from anyone yet (either from the state end or the program coordinator end) and was wondering if everyone else has yet
