<p>No</p>
<p>And I asked this like a few months ago.</p>
<p>-Sigh-
I hope the MITES thing is false, although it sounds like several people are saying it’s true. And I hope the 2-3 weeks thing is false as well…And if I’m hoping for things, I hope that I get in. :)</p>
<p>I concur, cranberryorange.</p>
<p>is anyone else going to e-mail Mr.Bowdon about decision time?</p>
<p>wouldn’t that annoy him if like all 300 applicants emailed him asking the same exact question?..</p>
<p>that’s what I am worried about. So I am asking how many people have asked him? He should put that up on SSP website…</p>
<p>LOL, it would probably annoy him if 30 people asked him the same question.</p>
<p>He did say “mid April” so maybe another email will be sent out next week if the notification date is really late April.</p>
<p>Yea 2-3 weeks means late April - not mid April</p>
<p>This rumored delay in decisions is quite upsetting…</p>
<p>I am so happy I found other ssp-applicants. I figured all of us were stressing. We should start a support-group :-O!</p>
<p>I just created a FACEBOOK group called Summer Science Program Applicants 2010
[Welcome</a> to Facebook](<a href=“Facebook - log in or sign up”>Facebook - log in or sign up)
Come and join so we can talk on facebook instead of this forum.</p>
<p>Go future 2010 SSPers!</p>
<p>I joined.</p>
<p>Hope I get in, sigh.</p>
<p>I think I’ll email Bowdon if I don’t hear anything by the end of next week. There’s a deposit due on one of my backups. TGIF everyone!</p>
<p>Just found out my friend’s doctor is on the advisory board for SSP. He says she’s awesome! It’s a small science world after all! :D</p>
<p>what does advisory board do? Making admission decision?</p>
<p>@lc
“The SSP Advisory Board is a group of alumni, former faculty, and other supporters who advise the Board of Trustees on issues of strategic importance to the Program.”</p>
<p>wouldn’t leelac not be able to apply if that person was somehow involved in making the decisions?
i mean can friends/relatives of SSP staff apply to the program? O_o</p>
<p>I think that won’t be a problem. Besides, that’s her/his friend involved more directly</p>
<p>Of course you can still apply. It’s like saying a child can’t apply to Stanford if his father teaches there.</p>
