<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>Anybody else get their acceptance letters yet from the Student Science Training Program at UF and planning to attend? Any alumni out there?</p>
<p>For those wondering, I was accepted with 1570/1600 SAT, 800x3 subject tests, and 6 AP 5's among other things as a student from Maryland.</p>
<p>I am waiting for the result…do you mind to share when did you send your app out and how long does it take the CPET people to review and make the decision? Thxs. </p>
<p>I sent my app February 15th and am still waiting on a reply…</p>
<p>I received my acceptance email last Friday. Deposit in, and counting down the days!</p>
<p>@Moirai, I don’t remember the exact date, but I think they should have received it around the 1st. I got a notification on the 5th saying that they’d begin reviewing applications on the 10th, and I received the acceptance on the 21st.</p>
<p>@SciencenTrumpet are you able to access all the necessary forms on the checklist they sent, or are you also unable to open some of them? </p>
<p>@ktln122 I was also unable to open some forms. I’m going to e-mail them on Monday, and ask them about it.</p>
<p>@ktln122 and @nikeprosandbows No, the links on the checklist didn’t work for me either. I got the files off of the “2014 SSTP” FB page.</p>
<p>Got my acceptance letter today! So how prestigious is this program? I was debating whether to apply to Michigan state’s hshsp… Which is better? </p>
<p>@premedgirl15 A number of people said they were rejected on past years CC threads, and MIT listed SSTP UF as a competitive summer program: <a href=“Summer programs | MIT Admissions”>http://mitadmissions.org/apply/prepare/summer</a> I don’t think it’s Ivy-League-admissions competitive, but I think it’s competitive enough that there will be pretty good students there. Past years’ schedules look like it will be a great academic, social, and research experience.</p>
<p>Waitlisted, feeling sucked.
The thing is I m an international student and if you look carefully on the eligibility of summer research programs, you will find the majority of them require you to be at least a green card holder.
Also, I don’t have any standardized scores and unfortunately the day my school held PSAT I was in ER. </p>
<p>That’s too bad 
You could always email them and ask if there’s anything you can do to get off the waitlist (i.e. taking standardized tests in the next few months)</p>
<p>Anybody have any idea when they are going to review applications again? I sent mine in early last week and have not heard anything. </p>
<p>I know it’s rolling admissions. I think it’s as they get them. </p>
<p>has anyone heard anything from them in the last week or two? </p>
<p>Hello, I was recently accepted, but I haven’t heard too much about SSTP. Are there any alumni that could share their experiences? Has anyone else been accepted? Thanks!</p>
<p>So excited for this summer! The weekend activities seem really fun too. </p>
<p>I don’t think I’m going to go, though I’d really love too. I can intern at NIH and be paid more than $4000 or go to this program and pay $4000+. I think this may be more fun, but I’m not yet convinced that it’s worth the price difference. I hope everyone enjoys their summer!</p>
<p>@SciencenTrumpet I agree that NIH would be a better option for you. I didn’t apply because I thought it would be hard to find transportation and housing on my own. Isn’t that the case with most NIH offers?</p>
<p>I think it wouldn’t be so hard when you’re over 18, but if you’re a minor NIH wants a legal guardian with you wherever you’re staying.</p>
<p>It will be a somewhat hefty commute for me - just over an hour each way. I’d like to find closer housing, but because NIH requires a parent with me, I’m just going to bear the long commute. I think I’ll be listening to a lot of audiobooks this summer :)</p>
