Summer Research Application and Acceptance Thread (SPUR, SURF, SURP, SIP, AMGEN, LA etc.) 2021

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
are REUs announcing particularly late this year or am I just getting rejected from all these places LOL
 
I'm not sure if this is the right place for me to post, but I applied for a few summer research programs that are more public health based:
  • SR-EIP through Leadership Alliance (applied to programs at Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Yale)
  • Stanford Population Health Program
  • Summer Training as Research Scholars (STaRS) at Boston University
  • Summer Public Health Scholars Program (SPHSP) at Columbia
  • LGS-SOAR at Emory
Has anyone applied to these programs and have heard back yet? I know the Stanford Program was supposed to notify people this month, but I'm getting anxious 🤐

Did anyone apply to Baylor SMART? I was looking at past posts and saw they usually begin to accept people around this time.

Best of luck to you! I'm a little nervous because I didn't have a lot of time to apply to many summer research programs so this is one of my top choices.

I did haven't heard anything, but I don't think I will get in lol
 
I got an offer from Mayo SURF on February 13th. The deadline for a response is February 25th, so they may extend a few more offers after then? Just to let you all know.

I got an offer from Mayo SURF last year on like March 6th. You were probably one of the first to get an acceptance (over 100 ppl get into their program)

Also, UChicago PSOMER this year seems to have been cancelled. Got an email last week about the cancellation

Hey guys, good luck with the process!

I was in last year's cohort and they notified us that the process is a little modified this year. Due to its virtual format last summer, they are essentially auto-accepting those who participated last summer and are currently college juniors this year. Just giving a head's up that there may not be as many "new" spots this year.

PM me if you have any questions and good luck! I hope you both are fortunate enough to be accepted!

Ah thanks for the heads up! It seems like there are gonna be much spots for people who didn't get accepted last year. Thanks for telling us though!

That's kinda unfair... WFIRM notified all applicants on their website that the people they accepted last time were coming back this time so there may not be many new acceptances. I wish Baylor SMART could have told me that before I spent so much time on applying!

Not everyone is returning as I and others are graduating this Spring so are ineligible. I wouldn’t lose hope yet because I presume they’re behind in offers this year with COVID

Honestly I can't really blame them because the people who did get accepted last year did deserve the full in-person experience and so they could say its unfair that the people this year got to go there in person while the people last year didn't. I think honestly its fine what they did because its not like taking their spot away is gonna guarantee one of us a spot. All we can do is hope that after them that Baylor will like our app and accept us.
 
Got a R from Stanford Population Health Program. They accepted about 1% of applicants this year (11-12 students with 1110 total applicants).

I hope you got into the Stanford pop health program!!!!
 
Also got rejected from the Stanford program 🙁 I thought that because this was the first year of the program, that not as many people would apply but i guess not lol. Not feeling too confident about the other programs I applied for now 💀

Did you apply to any other public health based summer programs?
Click to expand...
No😥 All of the one's I saw needed at least 2 LoRs and I haven't had the opportunity to establish a relationship with my professors to ask for one. It's a struggle out here in these virtual streets🤣 I really love public health and was high key sad to miss out on those opportunities, but I hope you get into one of the other programs! You too @GenChemDemon ❤
 
Did anyone here apply for Stanford CVI summer research program? They said decision would be out in late February, which is almost now
 
draque said:
I did, and I haven't gotten anything yet either if they didn't lie about the date then it should be out by tomorrow then. Fingers crossed! It is one of my top choice

No news is good news! If they didn't lie about the date it should be out by tomorrow then! Fingers crossed

hopefully, good luck to you :>
The guy who's in charge of the CVI program seemed really nice and approachable. If they don't give us updates tomorrow, I'll probably contact him. I'll let you know!

Sounds good! Good luck to you too : )
 
As someone said earlier, the NIH SIP is confirmed to be fully virtual. I was offered a spot last year and deferred it to this year.
