<p>Hey there 
I am Ana, from Romania. I sent my application on Wednesday, 10th of March, but I haven’t heard anything so far…so I am not sure it has arrived. Am I supposed to be worry or something?</p>
<p>the reason i was asking about the sophomores is because i’m wondering whether those who got in are applying again…or the ones who applied but didnt get in, are applying again. i hope nobody gave up! =)</p>
<p>@constansin5
did you get a tracking number when you mailed your application? if so, then im pretty sure you can check the status of the delivery
mine says it arrived at NC yesterday but i havent gotten an email yet.
dont worry =)</p>
<p>I received an email that my application was complete the day after my package was received.</p>
<p>so when are decisions coming out?</p>
<p>mid-April
That’s what they said</p>
<p>Do you think our chances of getting accepted would decrease if we mentioned a different area of science that we love? For example, I said that I loved neuroscience for the first essay question. I know a lot of people put physics or astronomy. Although I did mention that I love science, I didn’t specifically mention that I love astronomy. Would this hurt my chances with the admission officers?</p>
<p>@selena731: I went last summer, and I joked around about applying again, but I didn’t actually. I assume that rejected sophomores would apply again.
@iceui2: It might, a little, but only because they think that you wouldn’t fit in at the program (which is almost all physics/astronomy). However, people there have a variety of interests, and if you demonstrate your passion it should be just fine.</p>
<p>Probably doesn’t matter what topic you choose to write about, as long as you’re passionate about it. Only a few people knew computational astronomy anyway.</p>
<p>so did any of you who sent it in on Mon 15th get an email confirmation yet?</p>
<p>I sent on the 14th</p>
<p>no confirmation yet</p>
<p>wow…it says mine was delivered already (from tracking)
weird…</p>
<p>Sent in app overnight Fedex on the 15th, got confirming email on the 17th.</p>
<p>still no confirmation</p>
<p>how long do u think normal mail takes to go from the mid atlantic region to SSP?</p>
<p>no more than 5 days</p>
<p>so has anyone who sent it on the 14/15th not gotten confirmation yet?</p>
<p>Sent it Priority Mail on the 15th and still haven’t received confirmation.</p>
<p>same here
am i the only one whos starting to freak out? lol</p>
<p>Don’t be. I guess they got lots of apps. between 16-19, then it was the weekend. It has to take them a couple of days to straight it out.</p>
<p>Looking at last years thread, we should be getting decisions around the 9th of April I think?</p>
<p>but last year, they had 3 waves of admit, right? this is the first time they do it all at once.</p>
