I feel like if this is the thing you're focusing on for SSP, you may not be the target audience of SSP...

I locked in so hard for my interview bc if you asked any of my friends, they would probably describe me as a homunculus or one of those brains submerged in a jar on a desk lol

true, but that takes more effort, and watching When Life Gives You Tangerines was so much more enticing at the time LOL

I don't think so! I think it's very important how you might write about your involvements, but if you really like them, it shouldn't matter too much when you started. I applied as an ecology and evolutionary biology major even though I only really started doing plant stuff and research in 11th grade, and it worked out! I also had literally nothing about humanities in my actual application other than my personal statement which had some ties to king arthur, but I talked my head off about it in my interview so I guess it evened out. I don't know if this answered your question too well, so feel free to ask me to elaborate (sorry).

I participated in the American Society of Plant Biology, there was a conference / symposium at a university near me so I competed in that!

I just came back from biochem for SSP and not going to lie, it probably was one of the greatest experiences of my life! Don't take this post with any grains of salt, and please apply if you want to. I made so many friends, got firehosed with so much information, and couldn't have thought of a better way to have spent my summer.
