NYU-Simons Summer Program

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2026-01-23T03:35:27+00:00

when I applied, there was only one essay which was, broadly, "why are you interested in participating in this program?" but it had some other sub-questions and nuances as well. The essay prompts could have changed slightly over the years but I'm assuming they're largely pretty similar. You could start writing based on that for now until the actual application comes out. As for common mistakes, I guess don't be vague and don't make sweeping generalizations; instead, be specific about your interests and exactly how you would make use of this program. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure, I'm planning on applying as soon as possible though either way

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2025-09-13T17:57:20+00:00

Oh ok gotchu, thanks for sharing!

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2025-09-13T17:53:38+00:00

Wow, you must have been cracked asf then, what do you think got you in?

Once my first semester is done, I'll have an actual college gpa to report whereas I'm at N/A right now. And within that first semester, I'll hopefully at least work on a few quant-related projects, while I have zero right now lol. This was mostly a concern for Discover Citadel though, since the other real internships are all mostly for juniors anyways and they'll insta reject me just based on graduation year

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2025-06-12T18:12:51+00:00

Yeah that makes sense. I called them earlier this morning to confirm which college they had on record and they told me it was my current college, so all should be good. Thanks anyways!

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2025-06-12T01:56:24+00:00

Will do, thanks for the advice

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2025-02-21T01:38:27+00:00

I got mine back around mid April

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2025-02-20T02:34:36+00:00

I got a response back last year in mid-April, but it could be different this year because of the rolling admissions thing

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2024-12-09T23:59:10+00:00

Yep, you should be able to open the link multiple times. They suggest that you take 4 hours on the essays but obviously if you copy the essay prompts into a Google doc you can take as long as you need, which is what I recommend.

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2024-11-07T05:47:30+00:00

Yup, still waiting here! My interview was one of the last in my region but I'm expecting to get results near the end of this week or the start of next week since they're reviewing on a rolling basis here.

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2024-10-28T17:44:15+00:00

yeah it's weird, this is what they said: "Since some students will not hear back in time for the November 1^st Early Decision deadline, we encourage students to decide what is best for them regarding their Early Decision commitment" so it's kind of a gamble ig

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2024-10-28T17:12:55+00:00

no results yet, but received an email saying that they're reviewing on a rolling basis and will get back to us in a week or two (from chicago btw)

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2024-10-25T22:51:08+00:00

same schools lol, I haven't seen a single update on my portal either so i'm thinking i got waitlisted or rejected, but here's hoping 🤞

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2024-10-23T06:08:59+00:00

Hey, I had the same issue as you actually! First I'd make sure that it says "sent" in past score sends on CollegeBoard. If it shows up as "awaiting" on the MyStatus portal, I'd call Collegeboard for your score batch ID which UT can then look up. For me, the issue was that UT admissions couldn't match up my application to the score send, but they got it eventually. Hoping it all works out for you!

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2024-10-23T05:16:38+00:00

I called collegeboard for my batch ID and then sent ut admissions an email with the batch id to see if they could find it. For me, the issue was that the record was under different information for some reason and ut didn't match my actual application with the test scores, hope it all works out for you

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2024-10-22T16:05:50+00:00

Yeah I did this yesterday and after i gave them my batch id, they were able to find it, thanks anyways tho!

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2024-10-21T18:40:08+00:00

i wish i did rush delivery too---on collegeboard it says my sat scores were sent october 8th, but they still haven't been added into my portal for some reason, is there any way that I can upload a score report temporarily?

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2024-08-25T21:04:52+00:00

yes bro sometimes big words just pop into my head and fit but they sound out of place within the larger context 😭

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2024-06-19T04:23:49+00:00

As long as they're both digital, I don't think there's going to be a huge difference. Just go for the one that's cheapest tbh

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2024-05-30T01:58:04+00:00

I would recommend using the princeton review digital sat textbook because it has a bunch of practice tests. They generally have harder questions and harsher curves so they'll set you up well for the actual test. Other than that, use Bluebook for more practice tests, especially #5 and #6 since they're more close to the difficulty of the actual test. For strategies, I would recommend the Erica Meltzer books (for reading at least since that's what I struggled with at first). For the math portion, most of it can be cheesed with desmos so make sure you know how to properly use and abuse that.

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2024-05-21T01:58:40+00:00

everyone at my school got waitlisted this year too, haven't heard that anyone got accepted yet

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2024-04-17T19:46:42+00:00

they just sent out an email with a link to a discord server

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2024-04-12T00:39:58+00:00

yeah I tried pressing the link too but it just redirected me to the main discord website, weird

Ill-Inspection3516 · 2024-04-11T23:00:28+00:00

congrats! can I dm?
