Hi guys,
I just found out about SAMS and am really interested. Do you think I can still apply now? I’m not sure how it works with this program because I couldn’t find a set date that the application is due.
it’s march 15th?
I was told by Diane that I should expect my decision by Wednesday at the latest… don’t know if that extends to y’all, but I submitted on 2/4 and recs were posted by 2/6.
I GOT IN! I have literally no clue how. My stats are SO MUCH LOWER than all of you! Can someone PM me the group chat link?
Rejected 
I thought my stats were pretty good and I come from a school with a minuscule acceptance to selective schools but I am not traditionally a minority, so I guess that might have stumped me, or maybe it was my essays? Either way it is what it is. Congrats to those who got in! 
I still haven’t gotten a decision ?. Should I call in? Do you get an email or something ?
@CavsFan2003 Congratulations! Quick question: could you PM me (or post) your essay? My guess is that the main indicator of whether you get in or not is your essay and I’m super scared as I turned in my application March 1st with my last rec submitted March 2nd. I was just wondering if you could share your essay so I could see what it is SAMS is looking for.
Do u guys think I should make a different account and reapply with different essays if I got rejected?
do not under any circumstances reapply under a different account
@rosinilla211 Bad idea dude. Just look for other ways to spend your summer. Volunteering, working, taking classes at a local cc, starting a project, etc.
@MineEnim SAMS is looking for essays that demonstrate passion and perseverance. You should know what you want and how you can help others obtain what they desire. Reading other people’s essays won’t help you since you submitted already unless you’re applying next year.
What’s Dianne’s email? I submitted my app on February 12th and I never even got an email.
If I submitted my application on 3/1, when should I be expecting a decision? I remember somewhere on the website saying that a decision would be made within three weeks, but it looks like they are running far behind course.
i submitted mine on feb 17 and havent heard anything… getting antsy here
and the increase in selectivity (only 75 students whaaat) has me really freaking out here; i hope my essays pull through
y’all know the acceptance rate and what they’re looking for in applicants? j submitted today thank u
Does anybody have any idea how the coronavirus is affecting when results will be sent out and the program’s timeline? I’ve heard some programs say that they don’t expect the coronavirus to hinder their timelines and others say otherwise.
I’m not sure, but I think they are probably gonna go ahead, since there’s still almost 3 months before the program starts.
Also, how do they usually contact u to give you ur results? What does it mean when they haven’t responded yet?
My question as well.
