Hey guys!
Who all is applying for WTP (Women’s Technology Program) this year? I just sent my application in about ten minutes ago!
@ceca59715 Wow! You submitted it pretty early! 
I’m applying to WTP-ME, what about you? Also, if you don’t mind me asking, how long were your essays? Did you fill up 1900-2000 characters, or were some of yours shorter (1800-1900)? Just wondering since one of my essays is a bit shorter than the others.
I’m applying to ME! I’ve finished my essays, but I’m going to wait a week to reread them with fresh eyes
I finished my essays a week ago, so I just had to edit them today. My first one was pretty short (1380), the second one a bit longer (~1750) and my third/fourth were both 1800-1900. I tried to make them longer, but then it just felt too wordy haha. @fruitlover
Good idea! @xlhx33
Hey, if you don’t mind me asking, what did you decide to write #4 (the one about an important activity) on?
I wrote about my experience in Academic Decathlon and what I’ve learned/gained from it, since it’s definitely one the most meaningful extracurriculars I’m a part of @ceca59715
hey, I just found out about this program. hope I have enough time to finish all my essays. I’m applying for ME!!!
Applying for EECS :))))
i’m applying for ME too!! im finishing up my essays right now! i wrote about archery for essay 4. I wouldve written about model un but i wrote about that in essay 3
so happy for lots of people applying to ME :’’)
and hi! wtp-me 2016 alum here 
not sure if anything has changed since last year, but feel free to ask me questions about the application or program - good luck to everyone!
Hi guys! I’m applying to WTP too! I put no preference on my application bc I’m not sure which one I like more lol
Question: If I signed up for the January SAT but I won’t take it until after I submit my WTP application, should I still include it on there?
Submit it if you feel confident with your score? @joyjj
i just submitted my application!!! one of my essays had 1999 characters lol
My fall semester grades were supposed to be added to the transcript today- but I just checked and nothing is there T_T Do you guys think I can just send a screenshot of my grades from my school’s online portal?
@Lumitailz you can send your fall semester grades to them once they get added.
The application says “If this report is not available before you submit your application on January 15 please upload a note here stating that (since you cannot leave this attachment empty), and then email your grade report to wtp-app@mit.edu when it becomes available.”
yayy I just submitted! one of my essays was 1998 :o hope we all get in!! :))
Same, at first I thought it would be hard to reach the word limit, but it turned out to be harder to condense my essay into less than 2000 characters. 
lol one of my essays had 2000 characters and another was 999/1000
all mine were over 1990
is it bad if i have an essay with 1600 characters?
