I just got word I got accepted into WashU IPH program. They gave me until Feb. 25 to accept. Too early before the other programs get back to me 😵

MD Anderson sent me an email on February 2nd saying that they would contact me between Feb. 23 and Mar. 18th, but maybe someone got accepted early.

Me too! I'm excited and the projects look really cool but I really want to know what other offers I might get. What are you going to do? Do you know if it's acceptable to try and ask for an extension?
 
The waiting is killing me... Anyone heard back from Stanford, MIT, UCSF amgen and Einstein SURP, or rockefeller surf?

I'm going to try! I hope they understand.

Yeah i think I am going to ask for an extension too. I was asked to reply by the 23rd looool too soon!!!
 
Hey guys! Does anyone know if the application status "closed with no offer" means a rejection for the SR-EIP website? The decision column is blank. Also, has anyone heard anything from Weill Cornell's Gateway to the Lab Program?

When did you hear from Vanderbilt about VSSA? I didn't know they were releasing decisions yet.
 
Anyone apply to NYU-Bellevue Project Healthcare? Interview in two weeks - I'm not sure what types of things they'll be asking...

Yes it does unfortunately. 🙁 I applied to SR-EIP last year and that's how my portal was updated when I received rejection emails.

The Cornell program has me "On Hold" on the SR-EIP website.
 
Hey guys, do you think being on the news for being caught in an active shooter situation looks good on my resume? Should I send updates? #thatshowmyweekisgoing #someoneacceptmeplease
 
I put together a list of programs that users in this thread have been accepted to and rejected from. It would be cool if everyone just copied and pasted this list with the addition of their status when they hear back from a program. I compiled this from posts in this thread. If I missed something, please add it. If the program wasn't specified then I didn't include it. Hopefully this helps.

Sounds like a great idea, I would email them ASAP.

(Completely kidding, I really hope you're okay, that sounds absolutely horrifying to go through.)

Hey sciencenerd14, do you know how many people have heard back by Sloan-Kettering?
 
Both of my notifications were on Mondays.

For those who applied to UPenn SUIP they will not start making its first notifications until the last week in February

UPenn SUIP already started making notifications. I got in 2/8.
 
Hey sciencenerd14, do you know how many people have heard back by Sloan-Kettering?
I actually can't find it now, maybe I was looking at a thread from last year. I was almost certain I had seen it on this thread.
 
Does anyone know when Yale, JHU or UChicago will make Leadership Alliance notifications? I haven't heard back from any of them(or anywhere else for that matter)...I just want acknowledgement of my existence :beaver:
