Pgshc 2008

<p>heyy everyone. any1 here going to the gov school for health care this summer?? i jus got accepted and am psyched!</p>

<p>I got in as well. I think I'm going.</p>

<p>got waitlisted, writing a letter to see if i can still get in. congrats though</p>

<p>got waitlisted.. gah</p>

<p>any1 else??
pgshc is supposta be "the time of our lives"? seems like a lot of work thooo im kinda scareddd haha <==lazy bum</p>

<p>i went to pgshc last year and it was a really great experience.
as far as work...there isn't too much, although you'll become progressively more exhausted as time goes on. the only real work is that you need to keep a journal that must be 75 pages by the end of the 5 weeks. </p>

<p>if you do something that is deemed inappropriate, such as passing a note, falling asleep during a lecture, or whatever...you get an incident report form or "IRF". someone issuing you an IRF sounds very laughable indeed..but last year they began to give us detention for IRF's because we were a "troublemaking" class. </p>

<p>it was still a great time, but i hope you dont the kind of counselors we did last year.</p>

<p>you'll enjoy it, but plan on living off 3 hours of sleep for 5 weeks straight, and learning to sleep in lectures with your eyes open :p</p>

<p>Lol, so I heard. A good friend of mine(rather..more than a friend at one time) went to pgshc last summer. Similar experience as Shay described. Overall, I think pgshc is really demanding, so for those who want to be very productive over the summer, definitely go. I got waitlisted and I think today's the final day for calling people off waitlist. </p>

<p>I got into pgsut..but i'm not sure if i want to go. I'm deciding between pgsut and pssi lrsm. Pgsut is on urban teaching, a career field that I know I won't be doing. Pssi lrsm is a course at upenn on material science, and I'm thinking of applying to upenn's engineering school. Governor's school is more well known, has better reputation, is overnight; but pssi is on something that will actually help me. so I'm having a tough time deciding..ughhh</p>

<p>dont spend a summer at a gov school that's of no interest to you just because gov school might be more well known! you would probably enjoy the pssi program much more.</p>

<p>Ya i got in also. Im pretty pumped to go
the only problem is, i see im not the only one, im to lazy to do all the work
ah ill manage through
see you all there</p>

<p>Sadly I did not get into PGSHC. I was wondering what people that did get accepted put in their applications. Appreciate it! Congrats to those who did get in!!</p>

<p>Who all went to that thing at Harrisburg?</p>

<p>you guys are so lucky! the health care gov school sounds awesome. my state only has a math/science one but i found out about it a few weeks after the app. deadline. have fun! im going to be in pennsylvania for the summer though (SAMS at CMU).</p>

<p>i also attended PGSHC and it was the most amazing experience of my life. This is what I did for my service project: </p>
