<p>so i have already turned in my app and am anxiously awaiting my results. So since all this stuff is already done, i was wondering how much do summer programs like SSP (sponsered by cal tech, I attended this summer) help in admissions? Now that i am done with all my stuff i guess its ok to ask a question like this, plus i have a running bet with my friend on this issue :).
This question is to other summer programs in general also, but also specifically to ssp since i went there lol.</p>

<p>Fairly good ecs in my op.
I am just putting the stats to put things in prespective. Not necessarly so much of a chance thread.</p>
<p>hi aditya...i would know you anywhere</p>
<p>please refrain from mentioning names</p>
<p>Math/science related summer programs should help you. It shows interest in math/science, which is very important.</p>
<p>Trickstylez?! looooooool</p>
<p>that's funny. what the hell is that?</p>
<p>if i attended the same program as Trickstylez with the following stats in mind, what is the likelihood i'll see a caltech acceptance letter?</p>

<p>oh, and i'm an urm. well, technically a double urm. if that makes sense.</p>
<p>i'm stealing this thread dude, sorry.</p>
<p>Being a URM doesn't matter. We have no affirmative action. And to repeat what has been said thousands of time, there's no way to know your likelihood of getting accepted. Show an interest and passion for math and science. Do the best you can at what you do. The applicant pool tends to be very competitive and frighteningly well qualified. There's not really much else to say.</p>
