Summer Science Program (SSP) 2014

<p>@aboveandbeyond‌ We can struggle together… I have no idea how to balance a half reaction… <em>sigh</em> And I have AP Calc Problems due tomorrow. This forum has ruined me. (in the best possible way.)</p>

<p>@Nobody426 haha, yes :slight_smile: I’m doing my calc problems for tomorrow as well. Half reactions are annoying, just remember to follow the steps carefully.</p>

<p>@Nobody426‌ Are you talking about Chem? Are you in AP Chem? I might be able to help, my class just finished electrochem so we are done with all of the content for this year. </p>

<p>@AllenRen‌ same here lol…</p>

<p>@william108108‌ you are in a boarding school? which one, and would you mind i add your fb</p>

<p>How could they post it if no one actually working at late night, that just unreasonable …</p>

<p>@Raaaam‌ They’ve done it before</p>

<p>Whether it comes out or not, there’s no way I’m getting to sleep if I’m thinking about the decision.</p>

<p>They’re probably already uploaded, just waiting for a time to actually send out. Also, if you send out the emails/post the results on the website late at night when most of us are SUPPOSED to be sleeping (#nosleepuntil3AMoverhere) it reduces traffic to the SSP website and prevents a possible crash that would prevent anyone from accessing their results. </p>

<p>@Southpaw45‌ Yeah, I told my mom I was only staying up until midnight, then quickly added ‘west coast time’ #nosleepuntil3AM</p>

<p>:( why did they have to tell us to check again “soon”</p>

<p>I believe the admissions office is actually in North Carolina, so it may be dictated by EDT instead. At least, North Carolina is where we sent all of our applications. </p>

<p>@aboveandbeyond‌ Ha! I don’t even kid around with my mom anymore. She goes to be really early and the next day when she asks me when I went to bed, if the answers 3 AM, I’m telling her 3:15 :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

<p>I’m really hoping that we get them tonight or tomorrow. If it’s tonight or tomorrow, whatever I can deal. But I’ll be spending all of Friday with my SciOly team (most of it on a bus) and I really don’t want to be grumpy cat for the whole trip to state if I don’t get in. </p>

<p>Also, it might totally throw my events to know whether I was admitted. One of my teammates found out that he was rejected to UChicago the day before our regional and he was completely off of his game the next day. </p>

<p>@Southpaw45‌ I hope it’s soon. I’ve been putting off writing some essays for a few back up options for the summer. Last year, when I applied as a sophomore, I actually turned down a chance to do a program in china to wait on the decision from SSP. And good luck with your SciOly. :)</p>

<p>its still not out yet…</p>

<p>Well it’s midnight here and nothing yet. :(</p>

<p>I…hate…everything…</p>

<p>It is definitely North Carolina time. I have been emailing Amy and Dr. Bowdon a lot after my acceptance. The replies usually arrive between 10 AM to 11 AM EDT. It is safe to assume that the decisions won’t come out tonight. Sleep well. </p>

<p>The suspense is going to kill me. I think I’ll do more research into spherical trigonometry since so many of the comments on the site mentioned it.</p>

<p>Haha. Link me to the website(s) if you find something good on the interwebz.</p>
