Lol didn't you already accept USCD?
Then again, even though I've already committed, I didn't withdraw my pending applications.... I'm curious to see if I get in.

You're right! I did!
I tried saying this earlier: I had told all the schools I had accepted an offer, but none of them paid attention to the email I sent or something! Lol... I keep receiving random emails about my status, it's kind of funny.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using SDN Mobile
Why didn't they give me a rejection 🙁
Could it be? You two might have the two coveted spots! Double check that they considered your application complete (ie: they received your transcript) by logging in and checking your status. Good luck!
I also got the rejection email 🙁
Yup, it is complete, just haven't heard from them yet. At this point it would just be frustrating if I actually got in since I've already accepted an offer!
Just got my rejection e-mail from the Columbia Public Health Scholars program. 50 out of 1400 applicants were selected.
I'm still waiting to hear back from Sinai too. I hate how this gets my hopes up...
Aaand rejected from Dartmouth ASURE. 300 apps for 10 spots.
Haven't heard from Sinai either... So there's definitely more than 2 that they haven't gotten back to..
Do you remember what your roommate said to the offer he had originally accepted?

I have accepted the Einstein position. Anyone else? NEW YORK, NEW YORK!at first, but now
Congrats. I have also accepted an offer.
I have received 2 offers so far , but I don't have the patience to wait on the others since they are on the bottom of my list.
don't hate on the boogie down bronx
La Presse, ooh, we should pm each other! (This is the first time ever I'm using the pm abbreviation) Twice now, haha!
GoodStuff Haha, yeah, I knew people would say tsomething about the NY part, but I was singing. "New York, New York" to myself when I typed it... I don't know any Bronx songs. But I was referring to the state, right? Yeah, totally! 🙂
Neurotroph, boogie down Bronx? I like the sound of that!

The Bronx is also part of New York City; it's not a separate part of the state.
Did anyone else apply to the summer program at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute??
After about 8 decisions from REU programs, I only got into 1, with all of them telling my they had well over 200 applicants for 7-10 spots. I'm very grateful for the one spot, but honestly it's kind of crazy how competitive REUs are. I thought I'd be a shoe-in at supposedly "lower" ones like Kansas State U., but even they had 250 applications for about 7 spots :O
Well, I guess to be fair I had no research experience, but I was coming from a place with no research opportunities, so I figured my personal statement was pretty good.

Hey! I was waitlisted at Harvard's SHURP program almost a month ago and today I got an e-mail saying that I have been accepted. I have already committed to Weill Cornell's gateways to the lab program, so I will turn the offer down. To those of you waitlisted, don't lose all hope yet!

Yeah, honestly it's a crapshoot. There are certain things that can improve your chances, like an excellent personal statement, URM, limited research environment, etc. But it all comes down to whether the admissions person reading it thinks you're a good fit for the program. And obviously, "good fit" is something that's hard to define as an applicant.
I'm going to assume that I got rejected from my last two Leadership Alliance sites, so lol at how this turned out
1. Leadership Alliance (1. Cornell Gateways, 2. Columbia, 3. Chicago)- Rejected
2. Rockefeller SURF- Rejected
3. Columbia Amgen- Rejected
4. UCSF Amgen- Rejected
5. WashU Amgen- Rejected
6. Stanford Amgen- Rejected
7. MIT Amgen- Rejected
8. U of Washington Amgen - Rejected
9. Michigan Pre-MSTP- Accepted (even with a week late LOR)
10. UCB Amgen- Rejected
11. UCSD Pre-MSTP- Rejected
Guess who I'll be rooting for in the Final Four...

Well, this thread is winding down. I'll post my summary too.
Rejected from: HSCI, Rockefeller, Sinai (I'm assuming it's a silent rejection at this point), EPFL, Sloan Kettering (rejected off waitlist)
Accepted: DAAD Rise
Will be interning with a prof I contacted by email. Moral of the story: don't waste your time with these programs!! lol.

Sinai rejection via email, > 500 applicants for 16 spots
Acceptance to Harvard shurp, cornells gateways, rejection Sinai surp.
Anyone accepted to UMD?
Is anyone still waiting on UCSF Amgen? I'm thinking about calling them either today or Monday.
I had been sitting on their waitlist for an obscenely long time so I e-mailed them on Monday, and they replied the next day with a very vague "we have yet to finalize decisions, thank you for your patience." (Seeing as I have next to no patience and had a time-sensitive acceptance, I sent a withdrawal e-mail yesterday.)
Maybe a phone call will yield more precise results? Good luck!
Thanks! It's the last program I have to hear back from. They are rolling acceptances, but I kind of want to know what I'll be doing this summer. And congrats about your other acceptance!
When did you hear from SHURP?
.
I applied to MCHC RISE-UP and still haven't heard back even though they said applicants will be mailed decision letters in late March. I wonder if they are going the silent rejection route.
I've heard the decisions will be made the second week of April.
What location did you apply to?

Did anybody else apply to the Student Research Program at the University of Colorado school of medicine/ Children's Hospital Colorado? I just received my acceptance and I'll be attending it from out of state, so I was hoping I could meet some people before I go!
Does anybody familiar with the Denver area have any recommendations of things to do/see while I'm there!?

Same I am still waiting on them. I don't even think they've sent out rejections yet (correct me if I'm wrong).
I called before but the lady said that I am on a waitlist and she will call me back in a couple of days to tell me the status of the waitlist. Never got a call -_-
Funny you should mention that program. I just got my rejection from Jessica.
I'm sorry to hear that. I was quite surprised that I was accepted, but I think it really helped that I'm interested in maternal fetal medicine and neonatology!
Really?! Where did you hear that? I tried emailing them and got no reply. I applied to the Baltimore site since that's the closest to my home state
