Penn SAAST Summer Program

<p>Hey has anyone applied to this program this year?</p>

<p>Yeah, I did.. to biotechnology. How about you?</p>

<p>johnconnor, I applied to the biotechnology program too!</p>

<p>yeah I applied for the Computer graphics program. Do you know when they send info if u got in or not?</p>

<p>I think sometime during the week of April 13th…
Does anyone know how competitive this program is (to get in)? Like what %age of the students get in?</p>

<p>Ooh, SAAST is so much fun! From what I can remember, there were about 125 kids total in the four programs last year, but I don’t know percentages. If you did your application well and your grades are good enough, you’ll probably get in.</p>

hey what program did you apply for last year and around when did u get ur letter from them?</p>

<p>I’m strongly considering going, but cant figure out if its full yet or if there are better options still open. Their site does not appear to have been updated recently at all. Does anyone know anything?</p>

<p>I applied for biotechnology. I am deciding between this program (if I get in) and the pre-college program (I have already gotten in).</p>

<p>@ Jenovaside
have you already applied to this summer program.</p>

<p>yeah I just sent it in today. 2160+2 great recommendations+4.2 weighted, but it might be full by the time they get my stuff so <shrug></shrug></p>

<p>@Jenovaside
what program did u apply to? Just keep checking the site under the one you applied to and it will tell you if they are full in that program or not.</p>

<p>Do you guys know when the deadline is? It doesn’t seem to say on the website…</p>

<p>to what send in the application? If so the deadline was a while ago I believe March 26.</p>

<p>what other programs did u guys apply to?</p>

<p>deadline was a while ago, but they continue with rolling admissions until it fills, so you still have a shot if its not full.</p>

<p>does anyone know or could guess my chances of getting in? (accepted+not full)
Edit: Comp-Sci, robotics as backup.</p>

<p>This is my first time applying to SAAST as well, so I have no idea how competitive it is…
I’m guessing that you would have a better chance of getting in if you’re a junior, though…</p>

<p>Any other CCer’s going?</p>

<p>Man if I knew about this earlier I would have totally applied… It’s probably too late now as I want to apply for nano and biotech, huh. :(</p>

<p>Nonne else here is applying or knows what its like :(</p>

<p>Yeah…
The main problem for me is that I’m an international student… so I don’t know how hard it is for me to get in or not… =(
I think my grades and test scores are good enough… but you never know…</p>
