Summer Research Application and Acceptance Thread ( SPUR, SURF, SURP, SIP, AMGEN, LA etc.) 2019

[thesiren]

I don’t believe so... JHU Amgen should be coming out beginning of March tho, so probs by the end of the week

If anyone's heard anything about JHU AMGEN pls let us know! If I don't get a call back from Dr. Strobach @jhu by the end of today, I might make the trek down to the JHU research office (I'm a student – don't know if I'm supposed to reveal personal info like that but oh well) and ask in person. So seriously if anyone knows anything/wants to try to call as well, please save me the trip because it's kind of far lol

I sent an email earlier this morning, so I’ll let you know if I get a response!

Yeah I just sent an email about something else and tacked on a request for the admissions notification day at the end so hopefully I trick her into replying because they honestly might be flooded with calls/stuff about Amgen and don't want to deal with it. Hopefully they're nicer to their own undergrads (doubtful)

 

[medchem123]

I haven't heard anything back from all of the 3 SREIP sites until now. Does that mean I got rejected?

The best answer I can give you is that we don't know unfortunately... It's all in the hands of the admissions committee, and you may very well be on the waitlist. It's hard to tell with programs not releasing decisions when they intended to and whether or not other people accept their position in the program. Keep hanging in there! We'll all be set by the end of March (Unless your program doesn't notify until April).

Accepted to UNMC MD-PhD SURP (3/6)

 

[mama_africa]

Accepted to UNMC MD-PhD SURP (3/6)

Congrats!!! meanwhile I am obsessively refreshing my email waiting for some kind of decision

 

[fewds]

Denied from ACCESS Weill this process is so discouraging

 

[deleted853360]

Rejected from Georgetown Arches but got 2 interviews in the public health internships I applied to (UCLA Public Health Scholars Program)

 

[ruetherford]

Anyone else waiting for (or heard from) UT Southwestern SURF, BCMP SSP (Harvard), SUROC UNC, CCHF CSURP, NYU REU in Chemical Biology, or UCLA BIG Summer?

 

[Jordan1998]

Rejected from Columbia SPHSP.

I got accepted to UTSW on Sunday! If you haven't heard back, I'd wager (but can't be certain) that you're on their waitlist. The deadline for people who got offered to reply is Friday, so if I were you I'd wait until next week and then think about reaching out to see what your status is. However, I will say that because they have like 5 different SURF programs, each program might have slightly different timing in sending out their letters. I got accepted to the general biomedical one, but given that you've applied to a lot of Chemistry programs, I'll assume you applied to the Chem and QP SURFs. They may have a different timeline. Best of luck to you!

Congratulations! I applied for the SURF, QP-SURF, and QP-SURF CHEMISTRY. From the email I initially received, it seems like they are letting us know by this Saturday at the latest. What are your stats (if you don't mind sharing)?

Still waiting on UTSurf

 

[Amherst21]

I hope Yale actually releases BioMed decisions today lmao Wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t tho

Yeah Harvard had told me Monday and it didn't come til the day after so... yeah. Sorry if I hyped y'all up. If not today, then by tomorrow I'm sure.

 

[deleted972799]

Waitlisted 3/6

 

[Amherst21]

Waitlisted 3/6

Waitlisted to what?

 

[hallomed97]

Is anyone else waiting on Canary CREST? I had an interview two weeks back and was told they would release decisions on that Friday, but just heard back from the director that they still are processing applications.

Yeah I am. Did your prospective faculty mentor reach out for an interview or was it the program staff?

 

[hallomed97]

Also if anyone applied to NYU SURP (I actually forgot I did oops), all admissions notifications will be sent out by Friday morning.

Who was able to confirm this?

 

[ruetherford]

Yeah I am. Did your prospective faculty mentor reach out for an interview or was it the program staff?

I had a short phone interview with a prospective faculty mentor! He said that I would hear from them by the end of that week (Feb. 22), but when I emailed the program director yesterday, I was told they still need time to process applications.

 

[Arodramaticity]

For those who emailed/contacted UCB Amgen did they ever tell you a notification date? I contacted them last week and they told me they'll release decisions by march 1st lol

 

[CountDown2020]

Anybody heard from University of Cincinnati or Wake Forest? Still waiting on those two.

 

[cke1997]

Congratulations! I applied for the SURF, QP-SURF, and QP-SURF CHEMISTRY. From the email I initially received, it seems like they are letting us know by this Saturday at the latest. What are your stats (if you don't mind sharing)?

I don't mind sharing, but I believe they're on my page-- pretty sure it was Flamingo123 that asked about them. You're welcome to take a look! If you can't see them on my page then just reply and I'll do the ole copy-paste. However, I personally wouldn't read too much into comparing stats; every applicant is different in ways that the stats can't necessarily capture. I also think that the delay could feasibly be due to differences in when particular departments make their lists-- more people may apply to cancer bio than microbio or something like that, making it take longer for a particular department to be able to extend offers. I'm spitballing, of course, but that would make sense to me.

 

[cke1997]

Also, @ruetherford , you should definitely be aware that if you're a current sophomore, it's a bit harder to get these placements. Whatever your year, don't take it too hard, but especially if you're a sophomore know that they kind of tip the scales in favor of current juniors. Just means you'll have a better chance next time! I applied to UTSW last year and was denied, and I had a higher GPA at that point in time, if that's any comfort.

 

[thesiren]

Who was able to confirm this?

Not sure if you're asking who told me this or if anyone else on this thread can confirm, but I got the info when I called into their office and the lady said we would "definitely" know by Friday morning. I say "definitely" loosely.

 

[iamdr.cristinayang]

Anybody heard from University of Cincinnati or Wake Forest? Still waiting on those two.

I heard from University of Cincinnati on 2/27 and Wake Forest on 3/1.

 

[Flamingo123]

Anyone hear from Rutgers or hackensack?

 

[ruetherford]

Unfortunately I'm a junior, but I don't mind getting a rejection or waitlist too much at this point! Just hoping to be able to make an informed decision on where I end up this summer. I imagine for UTSW, I was probably submitted to computational bio/organic chem faculty, what about you?

 

[ruetherford]

Update: UCLA BIG Summer is sending out decisions by the end of this week.

Dartmouth MPUS already sent out acceptances. Yale Biomed was to release decisions today but no notifications yet.

 

[cke1997]

Unfortunately I'm a junior, but I don't mind getting a rejection or waitlist too much at this point! Just hoping to be able to make an informed decision on where I end up this summer. I imagine for UTSW, I was probably submitted to computational bio/organic chem faculty, what about you?

So I don't know for sure because in my essays I expressed that I was willing to go wherever they had space, but I believe my top three choices were cancer bio, microbio, and neuro in that order. Not certain, but that feels like what I'd have put. I hope you get placed at UTSW, it'd be cool to meet someone from this thread this summer! But if it doesn't happen, I'm sure you've got other opportunities lined up. There are certainly more than one way to maximize your application summer.

 

[beachwaterPR]

I haven't heard anything back from all of the 3 SREIP sites until now. Does that mean I got rejected?

I wouldn't say that yet, it depends on what departments you applied to and what sites too. Some sites take longer than others. Feel your pain tho

 

[Amherst21]

Anyone hear from Rutgers or hackensack?

Lowkeyhighkey think we got rejected from Hackensack lmaooo They said acceptances would be sent by the end of February but didn’t mention whether we would be notified if we were rejected... Some programs do that

 

[Flamingo123]

Lowkeyhighkey think we got rejected from Hackensack lmaooo They said acceptances would be sent by the end of February but didn’t mention whether we would be notified if we were rejected... Some programs do that

It also says this on the FAQ section of their website: "An email and a letter will be sent to your attention the last week in March notifying you if you have or have not been accepted".
But then again, they also said exceptional candidates will be given a phone interview so your prob right about rejection.

 

[ruetherford]

I got my deadline to reply to Tufts BDBS extended! Feeling a lot less stressed now.

how??? I didn't think that was possible

 

[ruetherford]

how??? I didn't think that was possible

I emailed them and asked politely. I do have some other issues to sort out (GRE, classes, etc.), so I structured my inquiry around avoiding prematurely accepting their decision.

 

[mama_africa]

Guys, I just spoke to someone about yale biomed amgen program. She says decisions have being going out since yesterday, and she isn't sure if applicants who are rejected get an email to that effect or if they just get a silent rejection. So, if you applied to yalebikmed you should hear back by Monday latest apparently.

FYI: I applied to Hackensack last year and they never sent a rejection. In fact, I emailed them twice to see about dates, and they never even responded.

Does anyone know when Stanford SSRP AMGEN will send acceptances/rejections?

Hm. I emailed just to ask for an approximate notification date. Did you specifically ask for the status of your application/decision? I would think they would at least give us some indication of when they would notify us seeing as a ton of programs are asking for responses back.

Yeah it seems like they're playing the waiting game with us. Oh well! It'll be okay. We'll power through. Did you need to get back to another program soon/have a hard deadline? I'm hoping I can squeeze some more time out of them because it looks like Berkeley and Stanford are just giving us nothing (at least anytime soon).

Yeah Berkeley and Stanford are ghosting us lol. But ya I have an offer that I have until tomorrow morning to accept. I would just hate to find out later that I got into Berkeley or Stanford bc really theyre my top choices. On the bright side, at least we got in somewhere!

100% feel you! The program is asking for me to let them know by morning (Pacific Time) and I'm like crossing my fingers that somehow Berkeley and Stanford come to their senses and get back to us tomorrow morning. Definitely not going to happen knowing my luck but hey, might as well hope for the best.
