<p>Hey guys, check this out :
<a href="http://www.angelfire.com/moon/ssp03/misc.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.angelfire.com/moon/ssp03/misc.html&lt;/a>
This is a list compiled by the Ojai class of 2003.Ojai rocks!!
Apparently, the TA's set a Question of the day everyday and prizes are given for weekly and overall standings.
Btw, we are getting really dormant here.Our thread is on the second page :-O</p>

<p>To westcoastlove:
I guess Vihang applied for either campus.That's what he told me.</p>

162

<p>Yup I went for either campus.</p>

163

<p>Got into Socorro. Should I do this or New Jersey Governor's School?</p>

164

<p>Don't you have to commit to NJGS when you apply?</p>

165

<p>Says I'm on the "Alternate List". Blah, I should have spent more than an hour and half on the essays.</p>

<p>Basically, I'm "qualified" for the program, but I just wasn't admitted, meaning that my records are good but my essays (maybe recs?) were bad.</p>

166

<p>Flippy, did you find out today?</p>

167

<p>Yeah. Through email.</p>

168

<p>I'm bumping this up for no reason whatsoever except that I want this thread to be on the first page...</p>

169

<p>Hi everyone! ^^ As you can probably tell, I'm new here. Found this place while looking for others who got into SSP.</p>

<p>I'm going to Ojai, and I'm from IL. :) I'm so excited that I actually made it, though I feel a bit under-prepared compared to some of you...</p>

<p>Glad I get to meet some of you before going, hope we can all have fun together!</p>

170

<p>any waitlisters or applicants for the march 23 deadline hear back from them yet? It seems like the results should be out now. I am on the alternate list btw</p>

171

<p>do you guys have experience with python/vpython?
im not so good with the syntax, and i was wondering the depth or knowledge requisite to feel like i have some idea of what is going on when i get there</p>

172

<p>Hey snowbunny.. you can't be as unprepared as me :)</p>

173

<p>Hi, </p>

<p>I just got my accepted today and look forward to attending. I'm from Southern California and going to Ojai. I look forward to meeting everyone!</p>

<p>:)</p>

174

<p>sspParticipant, how do you plan to get there? I'm in SoCal as well and I don't think taking a plane is the smartest idea</p>

175

<p>It's nice to see the thread hasn't died out. I was on a vacation for a few days, and the thread was stuck at a particular point for - dunno, 1 week? Then all of a sudden, vroom! There's a deluge of responses...</p>

<p>Congrats to all those who got accepted, and keeping my fingers crossed for everyone on the alternate list. Looking forward to meeting everyone who got accepted in Ojai!</p>

<p>snowbunny and 09xoxo, I'm sorry, but the Award for the Most Underprepared Moron at SSP has already been taken by me. Better luck next time.</p>

<p>Udbhav, I'll inform you of my travel plans later today. What's the updated list, anyone?</p>

<p>Meet you all in summer...!!!</p>

<p>I believe it is about a 2-2.3 hour drive from LA, but you can also drive to Van Nuys Flyway Terminal at 7610 Woodley Street for a shuttle to take you to the campus(more details in SSP Handbook)</p>

<p>Yeah, totally agree that a plane isn't a good idea. Look forward to seeing you there.</p>

177

<p>sspParticipant, so I take it that you are picking SSP over YSP?</p>

178

<p>anyone going to socorro play golf? lol</p>

179

<p>Who all is going to the Socorro campus? I'll see you guys there! I'm from just up in Northern California. I can't wait to meet everyone.</p>

180

<p>i golf a bit, 13 handicap, but im not bringing my clubs because im leaving straight from ssp to vacation and clubs are too much to travel with</p>
