<p>Who’s in biotech? Sorry if someone already asked that…</p>

<p>@canon, I would guess it’s by program just because of things like homework and the fact that we’ll be mostly with the people taking the same classes as us.</p>

<p>does anyone know what they’re packing for the graduation ceremony/in terms of nice clothing?</p>

<p>hey guys im new to this site. im doing computer science too, and i was wondering if anyone had the link to where it tells us what to bring? cant wait!!!</p>

<p>Has anyone finished the Penn Key [“Must</a> Do”](<a href=“http://sfs.upenn.edu/mustdo]"Must”>http://sfs.upenn.edu/mustdo) items? I’ve tried going to that site multiple times in the past few days, but the site doesn’t seem to be working. Do I need to finish those things before Sunday?</p>

<p>Haven’t even heard about a “Must Do” list. Where did you get instructions that it was something SAAST students were to do?</p>

<p>Sorry, now I realize what you were referring to, setting up your student ID.</p>

<p>I just went on the site. Mine’s working. Is this the site you were referring to? [Student</a> Financial Services “MUST DO” list for Penn InTouch](<a href=“http://www.sfs.upenn.edu/mustdo/]Student”>http://www.sfs.upenn.edu/mustdo/)</p>

<p>yeah!! that’s it! It’s working now. Thanks!</p>

<p>What’s the selectivity for this program? I got in a while ago but turned it down for yearbook/newspaper camps.</p>

<p>what do you mean? do u mean what criteria do they look at for you to be in the program?</p>

<p>To anyone who has attended this program before- I will be attending this year (Nanotech). How is it?</p>

<p>For people who were accepted into the program:</p>

<p>I have a 3.5 unweighted GPA. In comparison to the 3.8 and above GPA’s that many of you possess, my grades are significantly lower. I took AP Chemistry during my sophmore year and this year I took four AP’s including AP Biology and AP Calculus AB. My volunteer experience involves tutoring and VEX robotics, in which I have participated extensively. Additionally, I shadowed a pediatrician and a general surgeon for approximately 50 hours each.</p>

<p>Do you all have any thoughts about my likelihood of getting in? I’m not sure whether to make that 75$ investment. </p>

<p>If possible, could you provide some tips about application responses and how to make an application look more appealing? This is my second time applying to a competitive program . I was rejected by the first program and I’m looking for ways to write a better form. Any help is really appreciated.</p>

<p>How was nanotech? I am attending it this year.</p>
