<p>Good luck doing research over the summer...</p>
<p>i was thinking about harvard ssp...sounds quite nice...but I live in Washington and over the summer I have Japanese school...which I cant skip...oh well...
Hope everyone has fun!</p>
<p>I didn't think Harvard let people into SSP unless they were incoming JR's or SR's that fall.</p>
<p>I don't think they want to baby sit the entire time.</p>
<p>according to their website, they take incoming sophs who demonstrate "exceptional maturity"</p>
<p>It seems like there is a bunch of incoming sophs are going to Harvard SSP this summer, you guys are dazzling.</p>
<p>Where did you see a large number of Soph's going to SSP this summer? I am a freshmen, but because of my advance standing in HS and my motivation to go to Harvard I was granted the opportunity. Lucky me. ;-}</p>

<p>Come on all. There's got to be more people going to the SSP this year that have yet to post. Please do. I'd like to meet some Soph's since we are going to be in a seperate dorm with curfew. ;-{</p>
