<p>HI! Didn't see a thread for WTP (women's technology program) 2015 so I decided to make one :) is anyone else applying? If any alumni see this, how was your experience?
I really really want to go this program, but it's so difficult :( I'll try my best though! </p>
<p>Hi @DhaBoringMe! I was accepted in 2014, but I ended up interning locally for a few reasons. One of my classmates attended last year and she really loved it. She said she learned a lot and she enjoyed meeting so many other intelligent girls! Let me know if you have any questions about the app! (I totally did my the week before because I hadn’t realized how early the due date was) </p>
<p>@diver556 Wow that’s great! Did you have any programming experince that you put on the app? I know that they aren’t looking for any but I feel very underqualified
I don’t have many stem extracurriculars (I just joined amc this year, and I joined another club that tutors in math and science) </p>
<p>Hi! I’m applying to to WTP, too. A senior at my school told me that she absolutely loved it, and it was the best month of her life. </p>
<p>Hi guys! I’m also applying to WTP, for the ME track. </p>
<p>@diver556 @effaineffable Do you need really good grades to get in? Mine aren’t the best- I have a B in AP Calc AB.</p>
<p>I’m applying as well. My school doesn’t offer much in the math and science fields, so this will be an amazing opportunity for me if I am accepted. I marked prefer ME because I’m interested in aerospace engineering in the future. Do you know how much “homework” they give during the program?</p>
<p>@jyinsanity The girl I know who got into EECS last year usually has really high grades (straight A student). But I wouldn’t let that discourage you, since it seems to me that grades are only one aspect of the application.</p>
<p>@abbiejlee When I asked about homework, the senior said that it wasn’t too bad, and that there were tutors to help if you needed them. Plus, she said that I would have time to practice my violin and get the homework done, which is great because I couldn’t imagine not playing for four weeks in a row. So I figure that there is a decent amount of homework, but not so much that it takes away the fun of the camp.</p>
<p>@diver556 and anyone who was accepted to WTP: what did you write your essays on? I don’t want to copy you or anything(!), but would just be interested in what sort of stuff caught the admissions committee’s eyes.</p>
@effaineffable Oh okay, thank you!
When is the deadline for part 2? By the end of the day ET on Monday?
Hi! I’m applying too–I’m really nervous because I feel like I don’t have enough STEM related extracurriculars 
or any SATII subject tests. Are these really necessary to get in? I’ve taken a lot of AP classes though…10 so far
Omg just submitted the app
Feels good…but now the waiting :-S
And I feel you @shlobop I don’t have enough either I have taken the bio sat but that was pretty bad. 10 APs?! THATS AMAZING
Thanks 
i feel like that’s my only strong point though haha
I still have to finish like 2 of the essay questions xD
what are your guys’ stats? ME or EECS?
hi guys! I’m applying here too, I just finished the app. So scared now…
I guess all we have left to do is wait… Did anyone else’s essays all have exactly 300 words? 
Dang good job!
Mine ranged from 281 to 296
So nervous I just realized how bad I am at personal statements
Good luck all of you and hope to see you this summer!!
Do you know if the due date was by January 5th in Eastern Time? Because I live with Pacific Time and it didn’t specify at all on the website.
@effaineffable
haha, no, mine were from 280 words to 305. You ME or EECS?
@toofless I’m ME, since I already took a computer programming class freshman year.
