Summer Science Program (SSP) 2020

I didn’t get anything yet :/, is that a bad sign?

@cassius23 Congrats!!! Did you apply for biochem or astrophysics?

I got in from India! They mailed me 3 hours back. Purdue Biochem.
(if anyone else got into Purdue or for biochem, please message me! instagram: @aranyo)

@twentyAA I got into indiana for biochem

@astrocode The results are only out for international applicants right?

On SSP’s website, it says the international application was due a month before the American students. From what I can tell, they are just releasing the international student results

Congrats!

@hinterland Yes, they’re only out for international students. I think the results for American students will be released around mid-April.

Do you guys think SSP might be canceled because of covid-19? The email said that they cannot yet predict how the virus may affect the camps, and they also posted a note about it on their website.

Does anybody know the SSP acceptance rate for waitlisted students? I’m an international applicant and just got their waitlist for Astro.

I think it will still run, as SSP is still a long time from now

@astrocode there is def a chance it will get cancelled. by the looks of it rn, it will be, but we never know

@helpmezz1357 Same here, really bummed about it. I am kinda hoping that the yield rate will be lower due to covid, does that make sense?

Hi guys, I’m from Bangalore India.

Just got accepted to Biochem at IU

COVID tension back here as well.

Does anyone have the link to the official forum from the SSP?

@helpmezz1357 I’m not sure what the acceptance rate is, but you will probably be getting a decision very soon. The accepted students had 3 days (since March 12) to either commit to enrol in the program or give up their spot.

I am an international applicant, yet I have still not received any kind of correspondence from SSP (no rejection, waitlist or acceptance), so I’m guessing they release in stages based on the previous year’s thread. Should I email them or anything like that?

Congratulations to those who got in!

RSI was just canceled. I think it is very likely that SSP could be replaced with online instead.

YSPA just canceled too
