Hey guys. I recently got accepted to SSP and YSPA. Im hoping to get a NASA internship but because the decision deadlines are approaching quick, can anyone say from experience for example how you would rank each of these summer choices? I know each has their benefits, but generally how would you rank them. Keep in mind SSP has a solid foundation as a program but an 11% acceptance, YSPA is newer (like 5 years old) but has around 5-6 accceptance % and NASA internship is a paid internship probably with a low acceptance rate (depends on internship). I’m not sure what I want to study but if anyone can answer without repeating the “they all are great programs” line, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I know nothing about NASA but I’ve heard that SSP is a more ‘prestigious program’. Also YSPA accepted applications from sophomores last year but not this year. I believe the admission rate is slightly higher this year than last year, as last year was a ‘record number of applications’ but this year wasn’t.
Where does it say that @16?
SSP is more prestigious than YSPA as it has ben around much much longer and YSPA was founded by a SSP alumni.
