@darkermuppet do you have any idea of how these classes compare to AP science classes? I’ve taken AP Bio and will take AP Physics next year, so I was wondering if it would be much the same thing.
Also, is concepts of math Calc 3? I’m taking Calc BC so I wonder how high the math goes.
well I’m a URM making under 55k. I’ve got a 3.99 unweighted GPA and 1340 PSAT and 700 SAT II Bio (not sure if I submitted don’t remember). Also had some pretty unique extracurricular activities
yes, I got my decision letter today (2/5) around 5pm central time!! and I applied on January 12. I filmed a reaction video of me opening it and it was funny because i rly thought i would get rejected hahaha.
my background did not rly put me at an advantage: im a female asian, and my family makes around 80K per year.
my stats weren’t all that great; ive only taken the PSAT since im in 10th grade and i got a 1370.
but my GPA was a 4.826 and my rank is 1/836 so i think that might’ve helped.
but i think the part that got me in were my essays!! i worked rly hard on them.
so if you’re still applying, spend lots of time on your essays!! goodluck:)
Hey guys, I turned in my application 1/23 and I got an email saying I would get a decision today but the day is over and I have not. Anyone know what’s up with that???
for those that were accepted- what did you talk about in your essays? I talked mostly about my family obligations and how i’ll use my experience at SAMS to help others and dive deeper into my interests… i didn’t particularly go into full detail about my interests (computer science and astrophysics)… should I?
