<p>I just realized that rejection letters usually start with a sort of thank you, instead of something else. That’s how I knew, because I saw that phrase on my inbox from ssp. Well… That’s sure inspiring.</p>
<p>Also, (I don’t know why I’m spilling my guts here, but oh well…) I think it was my sub-par academics that killed me. I didn’t think my essays were that bad, well maybe in their point of view it was, but I know my academics was dotted with unfortunate a minuses and some b pluses… Gah. This came at not so good of a time. Kinda going through tough times at the moment…</p>
<p>When I saw the email, I thought “it’s just gonna ■■■■■ me… they all congratulate you for applying then drop the bomb that you weren’t accepted”. Then I worked up the courage to open it and it was a whole new story :-)</p>
<p>Accepted to Westmont! This is probably the most surprising news I’ve ever received</p>
<p>Accepted NM. I wrote my first essay about chemistry, stayed under the word limits throughout, if anyone’s interested. 0 experience with astronomy.</p>
<p>Waiting on a decision from HSHSP. Should I commit to SSP? I’m leaning that way.</p>
<p>@msav22: lol, I also applied to HSHSP, and seeing how i didn’t get accepted here, and HSHSP has a lower acceptance (well less spots), I doubt I got in there… Irony that you got into SSP and are waiting for HSHSP to decide which one to go and I didn’t and waiting on HSHSP which in my opinion is harder to get into… lol Anyways, congratz!</p>
<p>Me too. I was thinking about the same question. Rejected by SSP, waiting for HSHSP.</p>
<p>If anyone has any questions about ssp, I would be glad to answer them! Just PM me.</p>
<p>Rejected from SSP but got into SIMR, haha. Ah well.</p>
<p>Rejected. I’m a sophomore. Just curious… have any sophomores
on this board been accepted ?</p>

<p>Find Summer Science Program on Facebook and send a request,
you may get in touch with the SSP '12s via email shown in the SSP Handbook, and ask them to get you into the close group.</p>
<p>BTW, I have got admitted (as an int’l from China) to NM Campus 2013, so hope that we can enjoy ourselves this summer! @prettylittleliar @SignatureCC</p>
<p>Okies, alternates. I just might give up my spot.
MITES decided to stop being a procrastinator and accepted me tonight :-)</p>
<p>I’m messaging SSP folks and people around New Mexico to evaluate my choices before the 24th… there IS hope!!</p>
<p>Accepted to Westmont campus, and really surprised! Hahaha.</p>

<p>I wrote about particle physics and astrophysics and how they interest me because I like viewing the universe on scales so different from our own, to sum it up. And I wrote about how those fields have the potential to revolutionize the way we view our world and our own existence.</p>
<p>@StudiousMaximus</p>
<p>I wrote about how I’m essentially in love with astrophysics and how astronomy alters my perspective and amplifies my curiosity. It was pretty cheesy.</p>
<p>Here’s the facebook group for NM Tech. it doesnt come up on search.</p>

<p>^jhansen you probably don’t want to make that public unless you want an influx of alumni requesting to join your page… :P</p>
<p>thats the official group. Mr. Bowdon emailed it to me.</p>
<p>Is the result out for everyone? My son is still waiting to hear from SSP.</p>
