Summer Research Application and Acceptance Thread ( SPUR, SURF, SURP, SIP, AMGEN etc.) 2017

[TheScienceTea]

Any advice ? Got an offer and accepted it, but received a better offer from my top choice . What now ?!

Take the offer from your top choice. Just email the first program and explain. They will understand.

You got into WUSTL amgen? I thought results don't come back until

You got into WUSTL amgen? I thought results don't come back until mid March

I have no idea, I got the email yesterday saying "we are pleased to formally offer you admission to the 2017 Amgen Scholars Program"

 

[SonhosDaVida]

Welcome to STL. Great city. All the SDN amgen scholars should meet up this summer at the national conference!

 

[CU18]

Definitely be able to speak about your career goals and past related experiences with fluency. So if you have research experience or if you've done stuff in pediatrics before, definitely be able to talk about those things in detail and how they might relate to why you want to do CRISSP. Also, my friend applied to CRISSP at CHOP and hasn't heard anything yet. When did you get your interview?

Thanks for your help! I was emailed to schedule the interview on 3/1, but I think it might vary depending on your potential mentor.

 

[whelp055]

got accepted to Yale SURF through Leadership Alliance today

I realize that some summer research programs are better than others, but does participating in even just an average research program look decent on an app? I'm doing my program to help decide if I want to have a research career, but then I started wondering how many pre-meds actually do these programs. Not many from my school do.

Yes. Any research whether it's at your home institution, a tiny college in the middle of nowhere, or Harvard will improve your resume. Many of my friends who have gone through med school interviews said that the majority of what the interviewers wanted to talk about was the research they had done. Research enables you to approach medical problems from different avenues as well as traverse the disconnect between doctor and lab techs, as well as improve your ability to stay up to date on innovative technology and novel therapies by advancing your critical thinking skills which is why medical schools love to see research on applications. Also, the majority of doctors at medical schools are physician-scientists, regardless if they have an MD-PhD so that's another aspect to why it is good preparation.

Accepted to UNC Chapel Hill SOLAR program.

Has anyone received rejections from USCF AMGEN/SRTP? I saw some people on here got acceptances but I haven't heard back either way

 

[k1808h]

I have received acceptances from GSK SURP and the UPenn Nanotechnology REU! Just wondering if anyone had participated in these programs before and have any advice to share? I'm having a hard time choosing between them.

Are you talking about the Singh program at UPenn? I didn't think they would be sending decisions for a while.

[SonhosDaVida]

I applied to 17 programs this year. So I had a defined list in November and had 4 letter writers. Sent each their own separate template with program name , how to submit letter and due dates. Sent that to them first week of December and a week before deadlines sent a quick email reminder. I know my PIs were busy but it's forming that relationship with them before that really gives them the initiative to complete them for you.

My school has an office that sends out rec letters for people applying to these programs, so the teachers just send the letters to the office, which sends these out in batches. It's like Naviance for UG rec letters back in high school.

 

[k1808h]

Are you talking about the Singh program at UPenn? I didn't think they would be sending decisions for a while.

Yup! They gave me an offer last week but I need to reply by early next week, since that's when they said they were going to send out offers to waitlisted applicants.

After doing ucsf Amgen and meeting ucb Amgen crew, I say... nope
Would be a different story if u can choose Pi's but they kind of assign it to you...

 

[rockersoccer]

With all of these impressive pre-meds going to great undergraduate research programs, this site reminds me of College Confidential a little bit back in the day.

This whole site is like College Confidential except instead of parents who know what they're talking about we have a few adcoms who know what they're talking about.

 

[mc2155]

With all of these impressive pre-meds going to great undergraduate research programs, this site reminds me of College Confidential a little bit back in the day.

Personally I frown upon pre-MD only who would apply to these programs (that specifically say that they want to support PhD or MD/PhD students)... just so they can have it on their resume for med school...

Would you mind elaborating? Is the UCB Amgen crew just more awesome than the UCSF people?

 

[mc2155]

I'm probably biased here since I spend 2 months with the ucsf crew vs 2 days with ucb at the Amgen conference. Personality wise I just prefer the ucsf crew, nice supportive chill people who excited for science (work hard and play hard). personally, I found the ucb crew a little weird and a little too competitive...

 

[mc2155]

Oh! I thought you were saying that the UCB crew was cooler. I'll be heading to the UCSF SRTP this summer over UCB so I'm excited to hear this. Any tips for how to make the most of my time at UCSF?

Congrats!!! Get to know your peers and keep in touch, chances are you'll meet again and could potentially collaborate in the future. And they're just amazing kind people, the admission committee does a great job of collecting such a crew work hard and explore the city!

A fellow UND and CSU REU reject! I think those are the only two we shared on our list, though. Seems like most of the stuff here has been SURP and Amgen but I guess they had earlier deadlines so maybe it will start to shift.

ha Apparently there was a lot of us! After all of these rejections i'm left wishing I hadn't applied to so many nsf reus. Being a white guy from a research university definitely hasn't helped on a lot of those applications

UCSF is wayyy better than UCB Amgen. The UCB group had no chill. UCSF was super nice and smart.

But you also have to remember quite a few MDs conduct research so why not give them an opportunity, they might even decide to switch to PhD

Say you get an acceptance from the UCSF SRTP, would you choose it over UCB Amgen? Just curious haha

Not sure! I don't know much about UCB Amgen, but I think you should definitely consider the type of research you will be doing and what will benefit your academic and professional careers the most! Good luck!

 

[mc2155]

But you also have to remember quite a few MDs conduct research so why not give them an opportunity, they might even decide to switch to PhD

Then they can apply to programs that support MD students too... I know people who are dishonest on their application just to get in...

Really starting to question how I got into two MIT programs with all these rejections

These programs are honestly so random. All that matters is that you get that one acceptance, and you have two to an awesome school!
