i revisited the website and watched the video (it seems so fun omg) but it said that they wanted students who dont know they want to be engineers yet. i think i seemed too enthusiastic about engineering and talked about prior experiences so i dont think ill be able to make it in now 
also 60/500 is a 12% acceptance rate which is pretty low
@lshaynal I watched that video too and it made me really excited for the programā¦ I really do hope I get in. It would be an amazing experience. I took an Intro to Engineering Design class in sophomore year, and I really hope that doesnāt count as too much engineering exposure 
We didnāt do anything in that class besides figure out how to use 3D modeling software ourselves (the teacher was no help) and learn how to draw straight lines (aka what we spent an entire semester doing).
However, I do know a girl who got in for ME after taking AP Compsci, which certainly seems like a lot of āengineeringā exposure to me.
The wait is forever!!!
@tonystarkofwinterfell I also took an intro programming class and applied to ME. Iāve heard stories from friends about AP Comp Sci girls getting in, and then AP Comp Sci girls getting rejected (just to use that as an example of āengineeringā experience). I hope it boils down to more than just our āengineeringā experience. 
If things line up with last year, we should be getting our results around April 22.
The website says we will get an email response on April 28
Thank you for the update @chillkitty
Iām excited and nervous :o
Hi! If any of you guys already knows where you are going, could you please withdraw your application from WTP? Thanks
@angie414 Iām excited and nervous as well !
Weāve been waiting since January? I wonder why it takes this longā¦
The video was interesting, but what made me excited for the program was reading this blog => https://lifeofacityhobbit.ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā /2015/06/27/takeoffs-landings-settling-in-mit-wtp-day-1/
@artsciencefood oh my god now youāve made me fall even more in love with the program (especially since Iām applying ME rip) .-. Which sucks, because the acceptance rate is so low this year that I probably wonāt get in
@artsciencefood @tonystarkwinterfell ahhh same!! I applied ME as well. I really canāt help but fall in love more in more with WTP even knowing that the odds are not in my favor :,( Iāve already been rejected from all the other programs Iāve applied to (though they were all super selective so I was prepared for it).
Do you guys know of any programs that I can still apply to or just have any general suggestions as to what I could do over the summer? I really love math and science, but the research opportunities in my area are quite scarce (as a HS student in a lab and stuff). Iām looking for internships, but Iām unsure about the availability of those either.
Samee @tauisgood. All the other programs I applied to (and have been rejected from) were super, super selective, so now Iām low-key freaking out because I have two decisions left Iām probably going to try and email professors, to be honestāIām compiling a list right now. You could also try and register for community college classes? & some government science agencies allow volunteer internships.
I requested an early decision. Rejected. Now, officially HSHSP, SSP, and WTP have all rejected meā¦ I was pretty confident to start with, but now, after reading the stats of people who got in these programs, I feel betterā¦ Those people are insanely qualified.
Iām so sorry @yawninglion! Iām sure youāll still have a great summer (:
@tonystarkofwinterfell Iām glad you enjoyed the blog as much as I did! However, I must admit the acceptance rate is scaring meā¦
@tauisgood I feel the sameā¦ I canāt help but fall in love with WTP
This also reminds me that I got rejected earlier this year for a selective summer program in engineering. Most of us are (pretty much) all in the same situation.
@yawninglion Iām quite confused. I thought WTP didnāt have an early decision (?) And please where can I find those statistics?
@artsciencefood you can ask them for a rushed decision if you need to commit to another summer program or something, so theyāll tell you whether you were accepted or not early.
Asdf I know I should start making other summer plans because Iām probably not going to be accepted to WTP (or the other program Iām waiting for), but Iām really reluctant because thereās this part of me thatās asking what would happen if I did manage to get into a program.
I just spent all morning reading all the WTP posts on that blog and I need to go study for APs .-.
@tonystarkofwinterfell thank you for the advice! I really appreciate it.
Itās good to know that weāre all sharing similar emotions XD with AP exams/SAT2s coming up, my mind is flying everywhere and it really isnāt helping that all the summer program decisions come out so late.
Iāll probably regret asking this, but what has the acceptance rate been in the past years? (I know it is somewhere in the single digitsā¦)
@tonystarkofwinterfell Thank you for clarifying! I was not aware of that. That reminds me that I also have APs to study for as well
If any of you guys find another similar summer program, please share here
@tauisgood Acceptance rate for WTP? The previous year about 400 people applied (if I remember correctly) so there was a 15% acceptance rate last year.
^Yeah, and this year they said around 500 people applied, so the acceptance rate is 12%? But Iām afraid my chances are a bit reduced because I applied for only ME
I am going to UF SSTP this summer (: decent. I almost started looking at college summer classes
