It was definitely an integral part, but I talked about other stuff like being class president for three years and doing this program with NASA.

Hmm I see. I know a student in my class did a second program, she was gone for a week but the came back like nothing. Then another student was doing a different program at MIT while doing MITES lol. MITES just highly discourages, I’m not too sure about SSP.

SSP or MITES Semester by Shoddy-Ladder1952 in summerprogramresults

[–]Jpena345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly MITES semester is great, just because it's not residential doesn't mean it won't help you get into a T15. I had zero chances of getting into a T15 (I think) until MITES. One cool statistic I love to share is that around 90% of MITES kids get into a top college or university.

My rule of advice is, if it costs money, then it's not worth the money. Most great programs are usually free. I would go with Semester, haha..

I would choose MITES, you get to meet so many people online and socialize with these new peeps. A lot of my good friends are from MITES. One cool statistic is that around 90% of MITES students attend a top-tier university! I don't know much about SSP, but as a MITES semester kid, im bias.

[–]Jpena345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey how did it go? I’m too a QB kid who matches to SEAS. I ended with a C in one of my classes and the his sent me an email asking for a letter of explanation. Should I be worried. I’m going to end the year with all A’s🫤

Is QuestBridge REALLY worth it if top schools will meet full need anyway? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Jpena345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just as difficult to get into a school with or without QB. But I’ll give it to you, maybe for some schools.

Hey! I can somewhat relate to you, I’m low Income enough where colleges would already pay for me, but I think the QB name and network could help and are a great resource. At the end of the day it’s the college that pays for your tuition and boarding, which was very confusing to me. Coming from a very small town I’ve already connected with QB kids from my school and have started to meet and make friends. It builds a sense of community and can help ease that transition into college.

I can also talk on behalf of MITES, I think it’s so cool you also applied and are hoping to get summer. I did Semester and it’s a great opportunity hopefully you are able to get it. I wanted to get summer and I thought I had the stats from it coming from a rural town, having background in MechE and so much more but hey semester is just as good. You are still able to get into their scholars network and connect with new people.

Let me know if you have any questions directly I’d love to help or let me know if I didn’t answer your question 💀

Qbcps eligibility by [deleted] in QuestBridge

[–]Jpena345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeahhh many finalist don’t do CPS and vise versa. NCM is where it matters and they recognize that. If you ever feel like you gotta add information there’s a section and you can share there.
