It turns out my Calculus teacher submitted my teacher recommendation over a month ago, so that’s good. Now I just have to finish my application…
(Also, is anyone else freaking out because all their summer programs are hard to get into and they have no backups? Because I am.)
Would it be OK to upload a resume for the supplemental material?
@picats3141 I believe that most people will be doing so, so yes
hey guys im slightly worried. i am an international applicant, so my deadline was feb 5th. but i can still for some reason edit my answers? and also the word limit for answers has exceeded so now it looks like i have absurdly short answers but idk if i should change it or not?
this is really wierd… why can i still edit them
OMG why did the essay maximum length suddenly increased without informing ahead of time?
So freaked out! I already truncated my essay as far as I can, and now it’s 1500 character limit?!
WOAH!
Yeah the new word limit is messing me up. Do we have to fill it up on all the essays?
@nocando123 i don’t think we can do this…i think the essays are already under review…changing them would be a mess for them
the 8th short answer question confuses me a little bit, if we haven’t been “subjected to any school or legal disciplinary action” should we just answer “No” ? It feels weird using just 3/1500 available characters…
It would feel worse if you needed those 1500 characters to explain something…
Is our school supposed to upload a transcript for us?
I don’t see anywhere on the application where it tells us to do that.
@Runkeeper Yeah, from what I understand, the school should send them an official transcript by email, fax, or mail. They don’t take unofficial transcripts from students
About the disciplinary action - detention doesn’t count, right? My school gives out detentions to anyone who is late 
it doesn’t count…
Should we worry about filling out the “student note to SSP” if we don’t have any specific remarks?
For the last 3 questions for the essay portion (listed below), my answer is basically “No.” But like @sm121412 I would hate to waste all those characters…
Hey guys! Does anyone happen to know when the decision will be out?
Are you an international student? If so, the decision will come out between 11st and 15th, hopefully.
Does anyone know what is last year’s date?
@shanghai001 I just checked out the 2015 forum and it seems like someone heard back on 3/11, although I think the deadlines were earlier last year…
@essyr2017 did you include current grades like it asks for? Because my transcript only includes the fall semester. And specifically how did you send it?
@kattymiao I emailed them my current transcript (freshman year- junior fall semester) in pdf form, and they were fine with it. You also need to ask your counselor to send an “official” transcript to SSP. I don’t think this step was originally stated in the online app, but they followed up with me for it.
