Columbia - not accepted (action date 3/14)

Iowa - waitlisted (action date 2/28)

I'm not too surprised since the National Program Office officially said I'm not eligible since I'm technically not a "freshman" or "sophomore" with my junior class standing. It's whatever LOL
 
I agree. The program is targeting students who are disadvantaged in some way. It won’t be easy to convince me that a Ivy League student has any disadvantages in terms of opportunities.
I did too, but I think they might have a distinction between schools who have "good" summer opportunities for people vs schools that do not have "good" summer opportunities. If you are over qualified or go to "Ivy League" they could assume you have all the help that you need here.

I am probably looking for something that does not exist, not that the dates tell me anything anyway. Oh well, good luck to those who got in and those that did not.
 
My first thought with the "in review" status is that their system glitched with all the people rushing to get their results. Though no idea.

OK I'm going to prepare for a tutoring session I have with my students tomorrow so I'll probably check the website again in the morning.
Congrats to those who got accepted again!

Maybe I should have applied earlier but I kinda couldn't have because the SHPEP office messed up my transcripts and they said they had them, then they didn't, and they didn't communicate what was going on to me until the last day so whatever. I'm just mad because they made me overnight my transfers a second time which cost 60 dollars but they ended up having my original transcripts anyway so I spent 60 dollars to not to get accepted to any sites LOL life's ironic.
