Did anyone here apply to Yale’s YSPA?
@CaptainMalick which campus are you going to?
@rustydreams also New Mexico!
@CaptainMalick niceee
@CaptainMalick @rustydreams NM here too!
@yawninglion
ACT 35
PSAT 1470
Essays were good since, like many other people on this thread, they were condensed RSI essays.
Most of my application was about math things that I did (competitions and some camps). Last Tuesday, I was informed that I made USAMO, so I wrote a mini update in the “Notes” portion of the application. I don’t know if that helped since they probably already made a decision about me then, and they might not have even seen my update.

I made a separate thread if people attending SSP want to meet, talk, or work out the forms & other details. I don’t know who else is accepted/attending yet. Hopefully more people will appear!

@rustydreams
That’s great! There’s also Facebook groups. They have the links on the Admitted webpage.
@Runkeeper thanks - perhaps it’s time i get a facebook…
@rustydreams Yes! Make one! I made mine this time last year for a summer camp too lol.
MIT’s page says emails for the WTP will be released 5pm on April 28
Guys, if any of you already knows where you are going, could you please withdraw your application from WTP if you applied? Thanks!
I love how half of this thread is about WTP
just wondering, did everyone who get in seem very passionate about physics and astrophysics? or did you talk about another subject (bio, chem, cs, calc…) for your favorite math/science subject essay.
@Ishaynal personally I wrote about astronomy
@rustydreams hello! When you contacted wtp did you use this email address: wtp@mit.edu? I sent out an email a couple of days ago and haven’t heard back, so I am wondering whether they actually received my email or not. Thanks
@yawninglion that’s the email I used, but the ME coordinator replied from her own email (I’m not sure if I should post on a public forum)
for those who got in, when’s the deadline for committing?
I’m an alternate, & I’d like to know if I should expect a potential offer sometime around that deadline, considering those who don’t commit. thanks in advance!
@sm121412 Deposit is due by 4/18, some other forms by 5/1, and full payment by 5/18.
Editted
have any alternates received offers yet? I’m still waiting…
