What is the commit date for the ones who got accepted?
1590 SAT, 1510 PSAT, only 4 exams taken, and a mix of 4s and 5s, not very good extracurriculars, I did have a research topic, with decent teacher rec letters. 4.0 UW, and 4.2 weighted, class rank 15/790 at a mid-competitive high school.

Pretty good ECs plus research at NASA internship last summer
Essays: I wrote a lot about quirky ways that I show my love of science. One of my essays was about lock picking.
accepted to biochem!!
accepted into biochem with 4.0 (4.9 W), 1590 SAT, 1500 PSAT, 800s on math 2/bio/chem, and 5s on 5 APs (including bio and chem). pretty much all my ECs were STEM-related, some research experience from last summer but I don’t have any science fair experience.
I think only one out of the two recs was good and my essays weren’t outstanding but I was pretty happy with most of them. also for my supplemental materials I attached my resume.
hope this helps lol, you can PM me if you want to know more about essay topics or ECs or whatever
also @ fellow biochem admits I’m excited to meet everyone! even though it’ll prob be over zoom LMAO rip
@asr0302 for the first essay I wrote about electromagnetism, which I studied out of Purcell for science bowl and science olympiad; for #2 I wrote about writing, in my free time I write scifi and fanfic lmao; for #3 I wrote about how my family is really against me doing science, but at the same time, their work ethic inspires me and has molded me into the person I am; for #4 there were a few things I mentioned, but my main point was that I’d never been around other people who worked as intensely as I do, and I want to experience that and see how far it can push me; for #5 I wrote about the obstacles in my sophomore year, how I navigated the challenges of becoming captain of science bowl and hardships in my home life.
Can someone pm me the chat?
my status page is still empty…anyone else?
Hi, I just got put on the wait list for biochem and I’m bummed out. I wanted to know if anyone is considering not attending ssp because I’m curious if I should still have a bit of hope left or just give up. In no way am I encouraging anyone to not attend (I’m sure you all worked very hard). Thanks
