UC Santa Cruz SIP 2016

sameee :-w

I don’t think y’all should worry that much. What I mean is that they have 120 positions this year judging from their list of research projects. I’m sure there will be a high admit rate…

Speaking of which, how prestigious is this program?

143*, I think it’s pretty prestigious with several alumni doing well in science fairs; however their FAQs imply that they DO end up sending out rejections. . . :frowning:

Anyone else applying for out of state?
Anyone know if they offer any vacant spots by accepted students who chose not to participate to other students?

I think they may do that.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know to check your online portal and at least for me it says that I’ve been accepted and it has a project assignment as well. I’m not sure if it specifies waitlist or rejected though. Good luck!

Oh, my portal doesn’t say that… man

Neither does mine. Which page was it on @Bobash ?

It does not show up on mine either

the program people probably procrastinated T_T

yo guys, so I just looked over my application and realized that for part II, all the short answer responses are only partially filled out despite the fact that I completely filled them out then submitted; what should I do?

@asiansosing YOLO
just accept it, probably doesn’t matter anyways.

is the website down for you guys as well?

http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ucsc-sip.org

says its down so maybe they’re updating like right now?

@CuriousBobby yea lol I think it’s too late anyways; the SIP website is down so I’m assuming they’re changing the portal from applicants to accepted right now anyways lol

I tried to go to the website but it isn’t loading for some reason. Maybe they are putting the acceptances on the website?

when you’re on the east coast and procrastinating all your assignments b/c of this smh

my best guess for this whole thing is that they aren’t used to having so many applicants, and since they’re such a new program that was so small just a few years ago, they don’t have enough staff and stuff to deal with it. Sucks though I thought I was gonna be productive today but then just updated my email 9000 times

I just saw that I’ve been accepted!! But does anyone know where to see what project it is? All I have a link to is the acceptance form.

@NoFutureXD how did you find out?

I don’t get it. How did that other person find out that they were accepted? I checked my application but it didn’t say anything (not even rejected). Also congrats to @NoFutureXD !

There is always the chance that they’re lying, you never know
