YSPA 2018

@sputniik yeah, at least i know theres other ppl in the same boat or else id be going crazy :)))

@coronaa good luck dude. seriously

Mineā€™s says it was edited at 20:10. Iā€™m just worried that they wonā€™t consider the updates I sent to them after the application deadline.

@PistolsorBlades i think theyā€™ll take your updates into account

Iā€™m an alternate ayyy

Already committed to another program though so itā€™s all good

I was selected as an alternate! Not sure how long the waitlist is, but I mean itā€™s better than being rejected I guess.

In the acceptance emails did they mention how many people applied? In the alternate email, they just said there were a ā€œrecord number of applicants.ā€ Not important, just curious.

@Galileyom alternate email? what do you mean?

@sputniik I got an email letting me know Iā€™m an alternate for the program

@galileyom so a waitlist? bc if itā€™s a waitlist then iā€™m definitely rejected because i havenā€™t gotten any emails haha.

lmfaooo i didnā€™t get an email, i think im on the waitlist or definitely rejected

@Galileyom They said the same in the acceptance email - ā€œrecord number of applicantsā€. Iā€™m wondering how many people applied too!

Do you guys think they did the acceptance emails, then the wait lists, then the rejection? Because the email didnā€™t seem like it was automated or anything.

@PistolsorBlades probably, Iā€™m already accepting my unknown rejection

this feels awful

Alternate last modified at 20:10, how about accepted? Earlier?

@sputniik Iā€™m literally tearing up rn if I donā€™t get into YSPA, then goodbye to SSP

@ccrefresh rejected is probably 20:29.

@sputniik It was a waitlist. Sorry if Iā€™m a creeper, but I was looking at your posts and if youā€™re a sophomore, youā€™re fine. Just the fact that youā€™re in a position to apply to a program like this is indication enough. If you donā€™t get in, apply next year. You have a really impressive resume, donā€™t get discouraged by a no. I know my opinion probably mean nothing to you, but still.

Seems like in batches. If all accepted had the same earlier time.
