Hey! I’m from Texas and planning on applying for the USSYP. Do any past delegates have any tips? I really want to get in. If I have one B on my transcript, will that count me out? The B is in an Honors course, though. ALso i am a junior, so will that count me out basically too? Also is anyone else applying 
Good luck yall!!
Hey. I’m applying from New Jersey as a junior too. I really doubt they care about your transcript. They care about leadership and civil service, which is reflected from the recommendation letter from your principal and student council/other group advisors. Don’t be so stressed. Also, we’re juniors so there’s more of a chance to get in as a senior rather than a junior.
Has anyone heard back from their states (either with results or next steps)? I haven’t heard anything at all since sending my app in a month and a half ago

Did anyone have in person testing? The program is based on the annual affairs exam score but I haven’t heard back anything from the state and don’t know if they’ll conduct it.
Has anyone heard back yet? Share back on this thread when you do! I’m guessing people will start hearing back any day now from their states

My dc had interview 2 weeks ago… no information since then. Waiting
Did the reveal the winners yet? I haven’t heard anything back from anyone since I submitted my application.
Did you hear back on yours yet?
Me too!!! I thought it was only me that haven’t heard back anything. Which state are you from?
This sounds like a very cool program. Do you know if being a Tri-M (music honor society) officer counts for the student leadership component? Thanks!
I’m not sure, you might have to ask you state selector about that. But I know it’s very competitive so you might want to have other civic leadership positions on there as well.
Thanks! Currently class treasurer & trying to decide whether to run again.
I think you should absolutely run! I know the deadline for this year has already passed so try applying next year when they open the applications in October. It is an amazing program you should try for.

Thanks! It’s just so much work - trying to figure out the best use of time & cut back on some activities.
