<p>yay they got my mail..now i need the next email to say: Congratulations!...</p>
<p>^ everyone does
lol</p>
<p>btw, how many ppl got in so far?</p>
<p>@ovid: Waitlisted and deferred are different things. I think he means that if by chance someone who got accepted doesn't want to go, then they offer the spot to someone on the alternate list. Judging from people from last year, I think you have a pretty good shot of getting in. :).</p>
<p>Well, judging from the list a couple of pages ago, 3 got in to Ojai, 7 got in to Socorro (:D), and 2 were waitlisted.</p>
<p>out of how many applicants?..
approximately?..
T_T</p>
<p>well on cc only about 20. they say they were on pace to just barely eclipse 250 like they normally do, and since theres only 72 spots, you can do the math. though cc usually tends to do pretty good.</p>
<p>I got into 09 Socorro! I hope all of the rest of you get in too.</p>
<p>Torn between SSP (accepted, Socorro) and YSP (don't know) (The</a> Young Scholars Program [YSP] at Florida State University [FSU])
They both look like very good programs. SSP seems to teach slightly better skills at a better level, and also have a more interesting research project while I am a little more interested in the material at YSP (although astronomy is very interesting too.)
Anyone have any suggestions/advice?</p>
<p>Trickysocksman, do you mean that there's 250 applicants? Sorry, I didn't quite understand your post.</p>
<p>Oh, never mind - I should have read the previous page! Silly me..</p>

<p>*italics *= first CC post</p>
<p>Can anybody give me a few details on what's on the roommate preferences form? I'm just curious.</p>
<p>(Aha! I have made my second CC post!)</p>
<p>Ah, it's just basic stuff. How neat/messy you are, how you study, music, how you sleep, random personality adjectives. I wonder how good they'll make the matches.</p>
<p>Also, Socorro! Yay! We have a FB group =D</p>
<p>^ It's basic stuff like:</p>
<p>I keep my room: neat/mostly neat/cluttered/pigpen (pick one)
I study best without: noise/music/visitors
I like to go to bed: earlier than peers/normal/later than peers
I study mostly at: morning/afternoon/evening/midnight
etc..</p>
<p>Pretty normal questions. I'm the type that likes a quiet room, but is loud everywhere else :)</p>
<p>I'm really excited for June 14, but I'm pretty sure a lot of people are going to know a lot more than me in astronomy stuffs. Should I read some basic stuff? Anyone regret not preparing for something beforehand? Please give me some tips so I can make the most out of it and actually have only 20% of the information fly over my head instead of 60%.</p>
<p>:[ what's wrong with Ojai??</p>
<p>Don't worry, since when has California become repulsive ;)</p>
<p>lol yeah. You'll probably have a bunch of people from Los Angeles County coming as it's free for them.</p>
<p>lol, its only free for la county people if theyre poor or urms. and thats not gonna amount to too many people.</p>
<p>and soccoro is better. i need to get away from this socal air. its suffocating.</p>
<p>I'm from your area, trickysocks (I assume), and Ojai is really quite beautiful.</p>
