<p>I submitted app march 2nd!! Im supposed to be hearing back in two weeks? March 16th? Neways, I feel happy
Im not competing in the first round with many of you CC freaks. At least I hope the second round is more leisure . . .
But I kinda exceeded limit on Q#4. But I was able to fit it in one page. Is that good? prollay had word count around high 600s.</p>
<p>Oh hell. If I can't get into a program with an admit rate of 30%, then I'm an idiot to even consider applying to MIT.</p>
<p>^Think positively :)</p>
<p>My Q4 was about 2/3 of a page, with a double space between part A and part B, etc. I think yours might be too much on the long side, but if it's interesting, it shouldn't hurt you ;)</p>
<p><em>sings</em> Waiting in the snow, just waiting in the snow, what a glorious feeling...</p>
<p>lol, each of my Qs were at most 2 words short of the limit. I dont want them to have any reason not to accept me lol, especially since im expecting a rejection from TASP -.-.</p>
<p>I sent all my stuff in on the 28th, so hopefully ill hear back from them promptly.</p>
<p>wow. I haven't been on CC for a while because of a science research project competition and a ballet performance... but it seems this forum has devolved into a chaotic anticipation triggered nerve-fest (or nerd-fest? jkjk i love nerds!). </p>
<p>At least now its out of our hands... although maybe that's what makes this so difficult?!</p>
<p>omggg i wish i spent more time on my essays omfggg i just want my letter like now!</p>
<p>wait does anyone know the exact date the letters for the early round come out? is it by next friday? or the monday after next? is it around Pi Day?</p>
<p>oh gosh i hope i dont get rejected just because i didnt send it in before the 20th T.T. lol.</p>
<p>oh goodness, now the nervousfest begins. I really hope i get in though, cuz i spent so much time on my essays and my dad actually liked them.</p>
<p>when do they release decisions? Isn't the deadline the 20th?</p>
<p>Do they give decisions by email?</p>
<p>hmm? i just said i hope i dont get rejected cuz i didnt get in it by the 20th of february, which is simply the early deadline. the official deadline isnt until 3/20.</p>
<p>i think they do it by email. itll be pretty nervewracking, so meh.</p>
<p>i hope to see you all in the summer though, if i get in rofl.</p>
<p>but it seems that cc has a good track record of people getting in. so ill keep my fingers crossed.</p>
<p>^ I thought someone said they didn't send it in till the last date and got in
<_<
I really doubt it matters.</p>
<p>By the way, how much does SSP boost your University chances? Especially for one like University of California which is associated with the program?
Please keep in mind I am the usual international student with no real 'hooks' :p
And no one answered me if it is worth telling Bowden that I'll be giving exams for 5 of the toughest APs? I just mentioned my school board in the app coz the AP decision came a few days ago.</p>
<p>First, it isn't associated with any schools in the University of California system. Did you mean Caltech?</p>
<p>About the AP's: I don't think it'll make a difference, and I wouldn't go around calling those 5 the "toughest".</p>
<p>I meant the toughest available to me :p</p>
<p>So tomorrow is 2 weeks from when we first-rounders got our apps sent in. Think we'll be hearing back soon? I really want to know.</p>
<p>gah, i got rejected from tasp, so this is the last thing thatll save me from having a boring summer lol. <em>hope hope hope</em>.</p>
<p>looking back on the old threads though, noone who gets rejected ever says so, and the waitlisted people tend to get off. cmonnn <em>eagerly holds lottery ticket</em></p>
<p>I got rejected last year and I posted it. But I think, generally, most people on CC are accepted, as opposed to people being rejected and merely not posting it.</p>
<p>Hey, i'm just wondering, how much do the teacher recommendation count towards the admissions?..
i mean, does a recommendation from a Phd of a science, or something, increase my chances a little?</p>
<p>Er, will SSP look in context of what the applicant was given to work with? I got a 3 in AP Euro and a 4 in AP Stats, but my school isn't exactly great. Few people pass. I submitted those scores because SSP asked for everything. That kinda puts me in a disadvantage . . .</p>
