I e-mailed and they said they had a record number of applications this year and, similar to the timing with international applicants, they were running about a week behind and were aiming to notify folks the week of April 17th (possibly as early as next Monday)

last yrs domestic results came out on a Sunday morning around 12 am pst/3 am est, is there a possibility that results could come out tmrw?

24

By request, I made the SSP-reject-zone channel. Donā€™t worry, as of now, the decision if not out yet. But feel free to slip in and take a look lol.

25

Admitted - decisions posted on applicant portal late last night!!!

SSP vs. YSPA, chose which one? Both adimittedā€¦

From what iā€™ve heard YSPA is less draining, itā€™s practically the same program but I believe YSPA has more activities outside of the main astrophysics research.

Iā€™m not sure of the chances of still getting in but in the alternate list email they say that they donā€™t rank the alternate list in advance.

Did anyone get a letter from SSP? My son got rejected, but all he saw is ā€œnot admittedā€ from the application portal

34

Same here, only found out ā€œnot admittedā€ in portal.
