YSPA 2018

@galileyom ah, thank u ! yes and i’ll prolly try next year haha

yeah it’s just, rejection hurts

they’re probably gonna make us wait till 12am est for the rejection email or something lmao
oh well its not like im going to sleep

@sputniik I’ve been through my fair share of that. You’re right, it sucks. If you need to rant, feel free to pm me.

I looked at last year’s post and at least one person got off the waitlist, so idk if there’s any hope or not.

@PistolsorBlades YSPA says they admit exactly 32 kids, so they can’t send out more than that and adjust spots for yield. I assume there’ll be overlap between YSPA and SSP admits, and a good amount would probably choose SSP. I don’t know how long the waitlist is, but I’m removing myself because I committed elsewhere. I’m not saying its likely, but I’m sure there’s hope. Just send a really nice note in response letting him know how interested you are.

Still nothing for me :/. You get an E-mail for decisions?

Have you guys received your letter? I haven’t received mine yet. :((

Could you please tell me when was your smartselect last modified?

I didn’t receive the email and mine was edited at 20:30 guess that’s a reject tho

Hey guys, congrats to all that got in! Unfortunately I was one of those with a SmarterSelect time of 20:29 (rejected). To those that got in, I would like to know how they structured their application. For example, what did you include in the extracurriculars? What did you talk about in the general interest essay? Any feedback is appreciated, I am trying to know how to strengthen my app for next year. Thanks again!

I’m a 20:29. RIP me. Well maybe I’ll have a chance to get into SSP. However I would like a formal rejection email from them. Congrats to anyone who got in!

They sent the email! And it was a rejection email. At least I know for sure now.

They sent the email, I also got reject :frowning:

@phyphi8551 @eclepai Congrats! I got rejected, if you can give some advice on the following things it would be helpful. what strong extracurriculars did you have? what was the most advanced science class you took, what was your experience with computer programming, and what was your leadership role? Thank You

Hello? Are you a Chinese student? (just assume from your nickname) Have you received your letter yet?

I just registered college confidential today and I don’t know how to @ somebody. I am talking to Jlieeexue.

I still haven’t received any email yet :confused:

@MemeMaster314 really? i got my rejection letter this morning

@sputniik Yeah. I’m fully expecting a rejection tho so not getting my hopes up at all.
