Summer Science Program (SSP) 2009

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
801

<p>^ They ask for a yes/no within two weeks after you recieve your enrollment materials. So roughly 3 weeks after email acceptance you have to accept/decline offer. </p>

<p>I applied to SSP and CMU AP/EA.</p>

<p>They were actually equal in my mind for a long time. CMU made up for not being SSP becuase it's free, my family could drive there, I could have gone to Badger Girls State (both SSP sessions conflict date-wise with it), gotten free college credit, and could have done a CMU college app EA (they are normally an ED-only school).</p>

<p>But when I was accepted to SSP, the only thing running through my mind was "I HAVE TO GO!!!" So I am :)</p>

<p>EDIT: 800 post thread! W00t!!</p>

802

<p>yep I'm def. going to SSP. more people from Ojai..join the fb group pl0x</p>

803

<p>^ just admit that Ojai's FB group fails :D</p>

804

<p>holy moses. I haven't been on CC for a while... and i come back to this. its like the devolution of man or something!</p>

<p>congrats to everyone who got in, and good luck to everyone who's waiting! </p>

<p>ok, I'm ready for summer to come already!</p>

805

<p>it fails because tomjones decided to make it exclusive and not an open group =D. that way, other ojai people might feel tempted to make their own group because of the superiority paradox that tomjones created in the ojai fb group. muwahaha.</p>

806

<p>I really hope that not all the spots were already filled - that will be horrible - people who turn it in have NO chance of getting in, basically. Earlier rounds should have better chances, but one in a later round shouldn't have no chance.</p>

<p>-this from a third rounder :)</p>

807

<p>I agree with you. It wouldn't make much sense to set a deadline and then have all the spots filled up before having a chance to even glance at the third round applicants. So I'm pretty sure they have a set amount of positions available for third round applicants. </p>

<p>And I also feel that those waitlisted have a chance for a spot in the third round.</p>

808

<p>Ok..I made it public so now everyone can join.</p>

809

<p>The postal service said my application was received on March 19th, but I have not received a response from the about my application being complete. Has anyone who has mailed around this time received a response from them yet?</p>

810

<p>@joeschmidt, mine was received (according to USPS) on march 18, but i have not yet received a response either. I guess they're still busy.</p>

811

<p>Thanks book_worm for answering! </p>

<p>I'm thinking that the final results will come out sometime in mid-April. The 17th? </p>

<p>Side note: I'm listening to the Caltech webinar right now. Caltech sounds so cool!</p>

812

<p>Lol- SSP-2009</a> rejected awesomities! | Facebook</p>

813

<p>velleity: 2nd rounders got them 2 weeks after, so I would assume 2 weeks?
I hope they come soon :)</p>

814

<p>Does Mr. Bowdon ever call applicants to help reach a final decision?</p>

815

<p>I think I'm deferred. The email said I was on the alternate list but 'you may be offered admission in the coming weeks', so I guess I still have a chance.</p>

<p>PSAT of 228, btw.</p>

816

<p>other stats? ECs?</p>

817

<p>question:
if i just received an email saying that my application is complete, does that mean that i'm not missing any parts?...or its just that they received my envelope?</p>

818

<p>^ I think that means they have all parts of your app. </p>

<p>Just got my packet! LOL at the roommate questionaire...</p>

819

<p>Aw, I want to do the questionnaire. Are there awkward questions like preferred roommate sexual orientation- "Straight", "Homosexual", "No preference"?</p>

820

<p>yeah yaeh, whats on the roommate questionaire?</p>

<p>and for people whove gone before, how many people do you room with?</p>
