<p>@archaic, I think you would want other people to make the same mistake 
Don’t worry, I know a few people who did the same thing, and if enough people make that mistake, they’ll probably be pretty lenient</p>
<p>Ehh, no point in wishing misfortune onto others! Haha yeah I saw someone on the YSP Facebook page ask what would happen if we wrote too much… Later I calculated what my first 200 characters would be, and it doesn’t even include any of my actual activities xD
I even called myself conscientious (which I am. Usually.) Uh oh…</p>
<p>Anyways. Why would you all like to attend YSP? Planning on majoring in biology or a similar field?</p>
<p>I’m planning on majoring in biology or biochemistry. This program looks so INTERESTING! I would love to get in!</p>
<p>The projects from last year all sound really cool! They’re all individual too, which I thought was pretty cool. Lots of UC resources?</p>
<p>This is the point in time after submitting the application that I try not to fall too much in love with the program…I am failing terrible.</p>
<p>Has anyone else received the postcard they send when they receive your app? because I haven’t gotten mine yet and i’m getting worried…</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten mine either.</p>
<p>Nope, haven’t gotten it back yet.
I’m sure they’re really busy right now… I’m guessing most people sent in their applications during the last few days. (Like me, heh…)</p>
<p>They sent me a confirmation email that my app was received.</p>
<p>I got my postcard yesterday! on their Facebook page it says they have almost 400 applicants… So nervous!</p>
<p>Decisions come out today! Good luck everyone! Hope to eat some great food at UC Davis with you all this summer, haha :)</p>
<p>I got waitlisted :/. Is there any chance of getting off the waitlist?</p>
<p>I was accepted! Very surprised, given that I wrote 200 words instead of 200 characters for two of the sections…</p>
<p>@Galanoleyki: Yes, there’s a chance you still might be accepted. I’m sure there are some people who were accepted to other programs as well and might choose to go to some other program instead.</p>
<p>I was accepted! Wow I was amazed! Now I just have to find the money to attend… Let the fundraising begin! :)</p>
<p>@jasonmanley: Yay congrats! Where are you from/what grade/etc?</p>
<p>Looking forward to meeting everyone :)</p>
<p>Where are the other 38 people who were accepted?</p>
<p>@archaic I’m a junior from a rural town in western NY</p>
<p>I’m hoping for an awesome research project! It looks like we’re doing a lot of fun stuff too… I’m excited.</p>
<p>Accepted =]</p>
<p>accepted:)</p>
<p>Cool :)</p>
<p>KingdomHearts, I saw that you got into SSP as well; do you plan on going to YSP or SSP?</p>
