Summer Science Program (SSP) 2014

<p>@jonthom99 thank you! would never have guessed. </p>

<p>Also, I think it’s going to be today- perhaps late tonight. I think there’s a reason that 1) they updated the status of the apps on the portal at all and 2) it says to check back “soon”, which I don’t interpret to mean tomorrow. </p>

<p>I’ve basically abandoned my obsessing about MITES decisions because I thought that I’d hear from SSP by now, yet no dice with anything.</p>

<p>I think we should all sing a song together. Just to calm down nerves.</p>

<p>♬ Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today♬</p>

<p>@Southpaw45 I’m still obsessing about MITES, I know I most likely didn’t get in but I just want to know for sure already so I can get over it. </p>

<p>I just had like the worst day…In the morning I got rejected by UC Davis YSP, and then Manchester United lost in Champions League. If I get rejected by SSP today, ■■■!</p>

<p>@emywemy610‌ I know how you feel. I just want to know already so I can stop obsessively reloading this page, my email, and the SSP website. At least with MITES, they haven’t set up up to be so excited with a “You’ll hear soon- check back!” </p>

<p>My school just sent me an email and I almost had a heart attack because I thought it was from SSP. #-o </p>

<p>I didn’t think United had a chance against Bayern but they played well. So, no decisions yet, right?</p>

<p>nope</p>

<p>Nothing here.</p>

<p>I’m not the only one sitting at the computer, refreshing the page every minute, right?</p>

<p>Join the club :)</p>

<p>You have good taste in music! I’m digging most of your choices haha I definitely have some new artists to check out.</p>

<p>Good music! I’m just doing homework, refreshing the page, and playing 2048 to take my mind off of it. I’ve been listening to all of my favorite space-related songs, especially the Owl City ones.</p>

<p>playing hearthstone while waiting… I feel like I couldn’t do anything right now but check the web page:( </p>

<p>I can imagine the admissions committee sitting at home, thinking “HAHAHA those kids must be wasting away waiting… too bad they won’t find out until tomorrow!”</p>

<p>Thanks! I chose them cause they’re all about waiting haha</p>

<p>Yeah I like the theme you got going haha</p>

<p>So what are your particular interest in astronomy? My research so far has mostly been on magnetars.</p>

<p>I’m starting to think they won’t get released until tomorrow… Guess that’s what 7 hours of constantly checking the website does for me</p>
