Just wondering who else applied to an Amgen Scholars program for this summer. I applied to Caltech! Along with a few other REUs/other research programs.
Yea, I applied to a majority of them. I’m really surprised there isn’t a Summer Research application/acceptance thread over here on CC… You should check the SDN page, there’s a much more extensive group of people. I was only checking here to see if there was more. Anyway, I applied to Amgen’s at Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard, UCSF, WashU, and Columbia. I also applied to the SSP at Jackson Labs and the REU at Chicago as well as a few others. I got into the REU at Chicago though so I took everyone off my list I didn’t consider on par with/more prestigious than them, so the ones listed here are the only ones I am waiting to hear back from. Where else did you apply?
I did see the SDN thread but am wishing there was one here too so I could get more perspectives… But I also applied to NIH SIP (which I believe has begun sending out acceptances, I haven’t heard back), UIowa Micro REU (also sending out first round of acceptances), WVU SURI, Children’s hospital of Philly CRISSP, CDC/ORISE summer research internship, and a hospital in northern Delaware.
This is my first year applying to more than one research program so I’m not really sure when to expect to hear back from everything. I’ve been reading that most programs are sending out results much later than last year.
