<p>How old is he if you don’t mind?</p>
<p>Almost 9pm… ): I’m scared!</p>
<p>Check your spam folder if you haven’t yet.</p>
<p>Checked and double checked.</p>
<p>Triple checked. Just some advertisement about eHarmony or something ._.
Did you receive an e-mail yet?</p>
<p>I got an email about 3 hours ago.</p>
<p>Am I the only one that didn’t get it yet…?
D;</p>
<p>yeah I think almost everyone got theirs before 7 pm… that’s weird.</p>
<p>@needinfo, could you share your son’s profile ?</p>
<p>does anyone know approximately how many applicants are admitted and how many are waitlisted each year?</p>
<p>@pokemon14 Don’t let it break your heart. I was rejected as a sophomore and just got my acceptance email. They definitely prefer juniors. </p>
<p>Keep your chin up, do what you love, and apply again next year.</p>
<p>Oh, and one more thing – try not to obsess over other people’s profiles. It comes down to you, and who <em>you</em> are. Be yourself, not someone you think admissions officers will like.</p>
<p>Same situation as KREAY here as well. As for statistics i think 72 are accepted out of around 683 applicants.</p>
<p>I received my confirmation email back on Feb 26 though. </p>
<p>"Dear SSP 2012 Applicant,</p>
<p>This is to let you know that we have received all required parts for
your application to the Summer Science Program. Your application will
be reviewed by our Admissions Committee, and we will notify you of
your status by email and/or letter as soon as possible thereafter.
This process will take at least a month, starting after the deadline,
so please be patient.</p>
<p>If you receive new standardized test scores before our decision is
announced, feel free to email them to me. Forward an email from the
testing service or paste a screen capture of the online score report.</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p>Amy Belote</p>
<p>SSP Administrator"</p>
<p>Well how many are waitlisted then? Is it like 200 people are waitlisted, or like 20?</p>
<p>It’s just curiosity to find out what kind of students get accepted. That doesn’t necessarily mean that one is going to work hard to change his profile to match the ones who get accepted into selective programs. Doesn’t hurt to know who got in.</p>
<p>Did they forget about me ),:</p>
<p>@KREAYSHAWN: Thank you KREAY! I will try next year, then. I am a little bit disappointed because although I am a sophomore, I am taking 5 APs (including Cal and Physics), and I am Physics Olympiad semi-finalist. I got 240 for PSAT, and 800 for Math II, with 4.65 GPA (weighted) and a lot of EC and researches, but I am still rejected. Well, my weakness could be my age. I will be 16 by the end of the year.</p>
<p>@pokemon14 Good. You’re clearly a strong applicant. Apply again next year… but remember, this isn’t a numbers game. Never do anything just because you think it will get you accepted to SSP or anything else, for that matter. This is especially clear to me after having witnessed many of my friends (with far more impressive stats, for that matter) get rejected from the colleges they applied to because they were actually really shallow applicants when it came down to it, and did things only to impress admissions officers rather than because they were genuinely passionate about their fields.</p>
<p>To all the rejected applicants (and future applicants): Don’t let the rejection change you! There’s nothing wrong with you, just be yourself as much as you can and good things will come :)</p>
<p>Rejected.</p>
<p>Have fun everyone.</p>
<p>@pokemon, that’s pretty good. However, a lot of rejected candidates have such profile as well. I wonder what they look at</p>
