I was under the impression that Yale Amgen was not accepting students for this summer?

I only applied to Mayo SURF, I am not eligible to apply to most of the other programs as I am an international student ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. In the likely case that I am not accepted, I hope to continue doing research with my PI at my institution

Also an international student! The struggle is real
 
Also an international student....but worse...at a foreign (Canadian baby) institution 🙂 There are a few programs which accept international...and even fewer for foreign but they out there! Also....received NW Premed Interview ahhh!!!!

I applied to several last year and got into all but one. I deferred Hopkins SIP to this year due to COVID. Will be attending this summer.

First time applying as a junior and I’m super nervous. I applied to the Broad Institute and received this message. Did anyone else apply and get this? :

We are writing to inform you that your application for the 2021 BSRP cohort has progressed to the final stage of the review process. Our admissions committee is hard at work and our goal is to send notifications by the end of February.

I love this platform, it brings us all together but we’re still pretty much all alone. No one can really answer anyone’s questions 😂😂

I hate the waiting process, like I want to know my status of my app! I wish program would accept more students
 
Just received an email that the NIH SIP program will be virtual. I had reached out to PIs and all responded that they were not accepting students this summer due to COVID. So I guess this means all PIs will not be accepting in person :/
 
it depends on the programs, mines is a mixture. But if its online they will most likely accept more students. Because for one last year they said 200 students participated.

Idk if this piece of information was on mayo website before, but today I saw this:

Offers of acceptance will go out by email on a rolling basis from mid-February through mid-March. After the acceptance process is complete, the remaining applicants will be notified by email.

If it is truly rolling admission I applied 01/30 so rip lol

ooof :/
what do you guys think is considered an "early application"?
I could've submitted earlier but my fall semester grades got released in the middle of January so 🙁
 
Hey guys, is there a master list of these places to apply? I haven't used SDN in a long time and have been searching for research opportunities for a long time. Thanks!

Many had deadlines in January or early February but you may be able to search this same thread name with "2019" or "2020" at the end. Personally, I'm from a liberal arts school so I applied to ones tailored for limited research opportunities. You can also search online for NSF REU programs.
 
Damn...now this thread is rolling lol! Make sure to update the list with new places you applied and got accepted/rejected! If ppl don't know where you applied it is impossible for information to be shared 🙂! If you have new info...copy paste the list (scroll up the thread to find it) and update!!

Hey! Also an international + international institution(canadian bby)! Um base stats: Sophomore GPA: 3.99 Prty strong ecs/awards + lots of research(no pubs) and guessing I got some decent LORs. There is hope for us international folks!! They said this year was also 10% acceptance with 600 apps!

10% ACCEPTANCE RATE.... Maybe I should dial my confidence back down a bit

I applied to Neuroscience SURF in Jacksonville as I thought Rochester would have stronger applicants. Nothing on my end as well. I have three other friends that I know of that have applied w/ me and they haven't heard anything too.

They have already extended some offers (I know like 2 weeks ago), but they are still doing it. I guess if you don't hear by tomorrow or next week, you are most likely not accepted.
 
I applied and was accepted to the Livestrong Cancer Institutes SURF program at Dell Med (UT Austin) last summer, and they told us that we had the opportunity to defer to this summer, which I did. However, in August, they emailed us saying that they were taking our spots away and asked us to reapply with no guarantee that we would be accepted again for this summer. Long story short, I am going to be really upset if I deferred a few other T10 programs because I wanted to stay in Austin over the summer because of some connections I have here, only to not be accepted this summer for whatever reason that might be. We shall see 😀
