<p>I'm IN!!! Ojai!</p>
<p>^ah lucky. Dang it. This is killin me. When will alternates be notified approximately? I hope like 20 people who got accepted don't go. lol .</p>
<p>We have to notify the committe of our decision 10 days after receiving the materials. So assuming all the emails get sent out by April 21st, and the materials take a week to arrive, that means all decisions will be in around 7th may. Of course, you probably won't have to wait that long. Take comfort in the fact that this is a common alternate plan for RSI kids, and anyone who gets into RSI will go for it. (I applied, and still haven't received my letter. Besides, my country might not have even participated; it hasn't for the past two years and when I mailed them they said they were 'working' on a sponsorship request). oh well, ssp is good.</p>
<p>From the SSP FAQ:</p>
<p>Q: If I end up on the alternate list, what are my chances of getting in?
A. Everyone on our alternate list is qualified to attend, and some (not most) will be offered admission by the end of April. But you should have a backup plan for the summer</p>
<p>got in =D add me if you got in too!</p>
<p>rejected...</p>
<p>I got in Socorro....anyone else that's going, PM me?</p>
<p>OMG!! i just checked my bulk email and i got in! Socorro campus!! i cant believe it! :D</p>
<p>i got in socorro :)</p>
<p>in at ojai; i saw that u guys all got ur decisions and i was expecting to be like <em>dun dun dun dun</em> but then i saw the title of the email says congratulations anyways :P so that was a bit of an anticlimax hahaha</p>
<p>i could only apply to ojai cuz if i went to socorro i would actually have to miss a week of school + finals! nj is so stupid we let out so late!</p>
<p>I can't possibly believe I got in.</p>
<p>lol oops, i didn't realize that socorro started on june 15...i live in NJ too and that would mean i have to miss finals......................crap.</p>
<p>lol XiΞiX, y? wut are ur stats?</p>
<p>ps. has everyone taken calculus?</p>
<p>oh and the handbook sounds so cool!! ^_^</p>
<p>i think for every person that declines one person is pullled off the waitlist? lol...at least one person's declining for RSI</p>
<p>AHHHHHHHHH I CANT WAIT FOR SUMMER!!!! school sux!!!!</p>
<p>im going to plan what im going to bring now!!!</p>
<p>how many people do they waitlist? Can't be more than 5-10 right? I hope 5 people don't go lol. I don't think thats terribly unreasonble to expect right? I mean some might have gotten into both rsi and ssp. and some might have some conflicting stuff etc.
Do u guys know how many alternates go in last year?</p>
<p>they've got to waitlist more than 5. it's very likely that 5 people don't go.</p>
<p>^but would they waitlist a bunch of people (like 20) even though they know most of them can't go? Thats kinda cruel lol.</p>
<p>that happens all the time though with colleges especially....</p>
<p>do you think they'll let me switch from socorro to ojai? maybe take someone from the waitlist for socorro and let me take the place at ojai of someone who declined to go?</p>
<p>idk...email them...probably not likely, lol. just take ur finals early</p>
<p>i can't, school doesn't allow it...i hope they let me switch campuses lol</p>
