<p>Hey,</p>
<p>Do any of you know if it's too late to get in? I know the deadline isn't for a couple weeks, but if the spots are filled, it could be worthless to bother applying. I'm a TASP rejectee looking for a summer program to fill my time -- ANY program will do, pretty much. I'd like one that begins in mid-July. SSP seems to be one of only a few that fit that criteria, however.</p>
<p>Sorry, this is the Summer Science Program thread. The deadline for this has LONG past. I believe you're referring to the Harvard SSP (Secondary School Program), whose deadline is in a couple of weeks.</p>
<p>Regarding Harvard SSP, the program is pretty uncompetitive, so you'll probably get in. I doubt Harvard SSP has selected all of its students.</p>
<p>Oh yeah...Harvard SSP is major expensive. So if you can afford it...</p>
<p>Why didn't you apply to it before?</p>
<p>...</p>
<p>Damnit why do people keep thinking our thread is some other variant of SSP OTHER THAN THE SSP-SUMMER SCIENCE PROGRAM. The creator of this thread shoulda put SSP = Summer Science Program: Keep out! or something. This is annoying the frick out of me lol.</p>
<p>Why would anyone want to spend a month in NM? I spent a week in NM/AZ and I thought it was just mehhhh....</p>
<p>Well one of the primary incentives of going to Ojai is just to see Caltech. I don't have many chances of going to the States and I just might as well maximize my time and kill two birds with one stone while I'm there.</p>
<p>well the week you spent in NM was not @ SSP</p>
<p>SOCORRO >>> OJAI</p>
<p>higher elevation = nose bleeds but, hey, better star gazing beats all</p>
<p>amen to what P-P said :)</p>
<p>though i still feel bad about not being able to visit Caltech...</p>
<p>anyways, on my watch it's exactly 3,379,000 seconds left till June 18th, 6 pm (NM timezone) (I assume that's the program will oficially begin)</p>
<p>EDIT: Well, plus-minus 100 seconds (:o)</p>
<p>Sorry, J M Pham, I did mean Harvard. And I didn't apply before because I was kind of counting on TASP. I was a finalist and had about a 50/50 chance of getting in, so I was just sort of overly optimistic. Thanks, and next time, I won't make the mistake of confusing SSP with HARVARD SSP.</p>
<p>Ahh, are you guys as excited as I am?
I really wish I knew how many people in this list were ACTUALLY attending so we can introduce each other..and stuff...But............<em>shrugs</em></p>
<p>Can I make another thread? ^^</p>
<p>Hi y'all, I'm Hannah </p>
<p>This is actually my first post here... EVER... its a confusing sight, neh?</p>
<p>I'm going to SSP Soccoro '06! I really have two big things in my life: ballet and math/science, and I've always spent my summers at intense dance programs... so this intense science thing is new to me. I'm glad to hear that there are a few piano players to join me in Soccoro, cause I'm bringing my flute!</p>
<p>Goodluck to those on the waitlist!</p>
<p>Just as a note... I had no idea that there was so much competition for all of these programs. <em>hides face</em> I had to go look up TASP and RSI and MITES and all these other programs everyone is talking about! One day when I was really feeling depressed and hopeless about ever becoming a professional ballet dancer, I googled "summer science programs" and found SSP at the top of the list and decided to apply because it looked like a neat program (I NEVER thought I'd get in). I emailed my teachers and asked for reccomendations and photocopied my test scores and wrote out some quick essays... I had completely forgotten about it all when I got my email from Mr. Bowdon telling me I was accepted! I can't dance this summer, at least, not 8 hours a day, 6 days a week because I'm recovering from an injury (even though I got great merit scholarship to a really good program <em>cries</em>) so I'm REALLY glad I applied, and I'm really excited to meet all of you!</p>
<p>wow thats long... I just thought I'd introduce myself <em>waves</em></p>
<p>Hello Hannah ^^
We (JM Pham and I...at the same time...inadvertently) created a thread for introductions and stuff.......
We would love to see you there, on that thread because it would be AWESOME getting to know each other.</p>
<p>Socorro^^
