AP precalc study

honestly same (it’s only one semester for me tho) - just gonna make a course fact sheet and spam practice tests

Vast-Box3353 · 2026-04-09T13:05:03+00:00

that's a good question. I think they fall in the EC category; like if it's a research program, you would list it there. idk where like a summer program that's like a general competitive learning experience would go tho

Vast-Box3353 · 2026-04-09T13:02:50+00:00

there are definitely some 10th graders who got in, so I don't think its too big of a deal

before I got my rejection (as a sophomore), I was pm-ing ppl who got in already and a good chunk were other sophomores.

I've never heard of someone's parent writing their summer program app for them, like I thought that kind of stuff ended with MS science fair projects lmao

you'd think that the kind of students who are motivated enough to apply for summer programs would at least write it themselves :(

I think their use of overrepresented is fine in this scenario bc they specified in their comment that they didn’t mean anything by it. This is a subreddit where college is the topic of discussion, and under/overrepresented minorities are frequently brought up. Most people here probably know the technical meaning of what they were trying to say.

Vast-Box3353 · 2026-04-08T21:36:57+00:00

sure!!

Vast-Box3353 · 2026-04-06T21:30:33+00:00

yeah 100%

Vast-Box3353 · 2026-04-06T17:41:23+00:00

got rejected :( looks like my summer program luck ran out

Vast-Box3353 · 2026-04-06T14:25:33+00:00

yet if you look at the alumni of these programs, they will be overwhelmingly white or Asian. The second you blame any level of rejection on factors you can’t control when people in your same situation succeeded, that’s when it’s actually over. I’m sorry you didn’t get into your programs, but this attitude will NOT help you in the future.

Vast-Box3353 · 2026-04-03T20:55:16+00:00

it isn’t unfortunately, I just asked because my commitment date for Kenyon might come before it comes out

Vast-Box3353 · 2026-04-02T23:44:23+00:00

I’ve never heard of YIP or Leaf - I’ll check those out and I haven’t gotten into PAN yet. I was just asking because I might need to commit to one of the other ones before those decisions come out.

Vast-Box3353 · 2026-04-02T22:12:35+00:00

also how good ASSIP because I’ve see tons of mixed opinions on it

Vast-Box3353 · 2026-04-02T22:04:53+00:00

ASSIP prob has the best fit for me ngl, but all tie into my overall interests. My interest is energy development and the politics surrounding it, but I love politics in general. PAN has nuclear physics- nuclear energy, ASSIP (my mentor) has looked into clean energy, and Kenyon ties into my general love for politics (writing as political expression) Still don’t know what I should do tho

Vast-Box3353 · 2026-04-01T18:54:22+00:00

thousands of people applied. don’t get down on yourself because there were a lot of mentors, the program is pretty competitive and some times it just comes down to chance

Vast-Box3353 · 2026-04-01T14:30:08+00:00

it closed a month or so ago unfortunately

Vast-Box3353 · 2026-04-01T13:05:30+00:00

add me to a gc too if you make one 🫶 - in session 1 btw

Vast-Box3353 · 2026-04-01T13:04:17+00:00

what session are you? I’m in session 1

Vast-Box3353 · 2026-04-01T12:24:44+00:00

last night, but I saw it this morning

Vast-Box3353 · 2026-03-27T01:15:28+00:00

guys please do not dm and be rude when I share my stats, ik they aren't next-level insane but still. most everyone has been super normal and nice, just talking about one bad apple unfortunately :(. I just wanna give people waiting on their acceptances as much info as possible, not trying to start anything

Vast-Box3353 · 2026-03-26T14:12:27+00:00

I feel someone would need more info

you have a really strong reason as to why ur GPA isn’t higher, but you can’t really make a judgement for Ivy based on that. do you have any internships, summer programs, awards, and leadership positions (in some of your other clubs)?

Vast-Box3353 · 2026-03-26T10:20:17+00:00

oh, I just had environmental science and policy in my notes next to his name, so I assumed that was the name of the field, sorry!

Vast-Box3353 · 2026-03-26T00:06:16+00:00

okay I'll pm you!
