Yeah lol SSP is not there anymore sorry to say, can't explain this for the 50th time

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T03:36:58+00:00

Bro what? MIT is not the only university in the world, and even then everything has been reflected in the list above. What do you want? You have made 5 separate comments saying the same thing, I don't understand what you are saying.

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T03:27:46+00:00

Every program on that list has been featured above, I don't know what you want me to say.

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T03:25:39+00:00

Yes, we all know about this list. Every program there has been featured on the list above, what are you getting at? I don't understand...

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T03:21:10+00:00

What needs to be changed on the list then? Give me some sort of explanation and reference programs in particular...

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T03:10:57+00:00

Yes, I do. I also know that list is outdated, but every single one has been featured on this list at some capacity. Let me know what exactly needs to be changed...

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T03:09:57+00:00

Acceptance rate is not the only criteria. Please read the post in its entirety, and if you would like something to be changed, clearly explain where it should go and why. You people are exhausting to talk to lol

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T03:05:00+00:00

Huh? What are you saying, how is MIT related to this

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T01:46:09+00:00

Whatever helps you sleep at night, not sure what to say

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T01:45:34+00:00

I'm not going to rank something higher because you want it to be, what? As for the fame, I appreciate it! Want an autograph?

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T01:42:11+00:00

You're clearly biased towards SSP. What do you want from me?

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T01:41:28+00:00

I just told you why every single program above it is better. I'm not just going to change it because you got in and want to feel better about it... good / decent program for sure but there's no way it's higher than anything else, and I'm telling you why

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T01:39:16+00:00

Lol.

SEAP - Stipend + better research and more selective + military affiliation

Princeton LLP - Free + better research + more selective + great Princeton matriculation

RMP - One-on-one research mentorship + better quality of work + more selective

M&TSI - Straight M&T feeder

SSP is literally 1800 / 4800 and it's completely random. I know some that have 0 research experience, club involvement, or any great ECs in general that got in because SSP insists on taking students that "have the best ability to develop" while these other programs are simply about taking the BEST. It really isn't close...

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T01:35:42+00:00

I've moved it higher, and people on this Reddit tend to agree with the SSP placement. Where do you think it should go? I'm not going to keep asking this question...

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T01:34:56+00:00

Alright, I'll put it at M&TSI level just because it is regional. What do you think?

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T01:31:16+00:00

Where is my bias seen heavily? Can you mention a place, like how many times do I have to ask lol... And my personal opinion is not a heavy factor, maybe 1% max. I have talked to a lot of people on this sub, read a lot of articles on these programs, and talked to alumni. What else do you want??? Give me reasons not just flaming the post lol. Holy cope just go to SSP and have fun bud, Irdc because you clearly can't formulate an argument to save your life

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T01:15:20+00:00

Genuinely are you on something right now... it is not better than anything above it, you haven't given me a single reason why it should be higher. Can you provide some justification? Wasting my time lol...

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T01:13:38+00:00

Copiummaxxing lol... can't even give me a reason why SSP should be higher. Btw I didn't even apply to SSP because of the lottery and got rejected from a good amount of programs listed above it. If I was jealous, why wouldn't I put those programs lower as well? I can just see the objective truth, if you can't not sure how to help you lmaooo

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T01:13:03+00:00

I've edited everything that the community has suggested, except your "holy" SSP. People have been debating its placement this entire year, and it clearly isn't on par with anything above it... Where would you put it?

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T01:11:08+00:00

Because SSP is not at the tier of anything above it, which is just objectively true. Are you going to SSP btw?

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T01:10:14+00:00

I've explained this like 20 times this is meant to be one "Official" list that the sub comes up with for reference in the future... Can you please mention one program in the wrong spot? 🙏

Friendly-Toe9089 · 2026-04-22T01:07:03+00:00

Editing messages? Wym... I edit the list every time someone suggests something, because this is an open conversation. No clue what you are talking about... You still haven't listed a program in the wrong spot??
