BLIPS 2010 at UC Berkeley

<p>one email, and they tell you what department and which prof you are working with, I got right when school ended, like 3:00ish</p>

<p>I think I’m going to live on campus, b/c i live kind of far away.</p>

<p>have you checked with the campus housing yet? I know the internship was only open to local school districts, because they expect you to commute. Although apparently almost no one from my school gets accepted, even though we’re fairly close. However, they’ll probably let you house there because of open summer classes and the likes.</p>

<p>haha, I keep checking my email, like every few minutes, but I haven’t received anything yet.</p>

<p>congrats peter! what did you get in for?</p>

<p>and I keep checking my emails too, hopefully we’ll get a final word on friday so they can stop the agonizing wait.</p>

<p>Thanks guys, I got in for material science, even though I signed up for mechanical, electrical, and chemical eng, lol. Oh well, still looks cool. Hope to see you guys there.</p>

<p>i got in for materials science too! what kind of research are you going to be doing?
i’m doing stuff on extreme ultraviolet radiation and soft x-ray emissions. i had no idea what those were before but i read up a little about it and it sounds pretty interesting.</p>

<p>WAIT WAIT WAIT fqzeng!!?!?!?!?! You got in material science too??? What you’ve just described sounds almost exactly like what I got in my email! Are you with the CXRO Engineering team???</p>

<p>fqzeng- who is ur professor?</p>

<p>peterchew, who’d u get for ur professor?</p>

<p>i have dr rekawa
do u have the same guy?</p>

<p>I have Dr. rekawa too</p>

<p>I’m still waiting for mine :confused: Been checking my e-mail every few minutes, and it’s Friday! :/</p>

<p>Yeah same here, i really hope that they actually send this to us within a few days. I have another program that i need to send in a reply too so i really need to know soon =/</p>

<p>Hopefully they’ll send it out soon, just in case I need to make alternate plans…</p>

<p>@peterchew, @fqzeng, does the email mention when do you need to confirm the offer?</p>

<p>it’s distressing</p>

<p>5 days after receiving the acceptance.
i’m filling out the acceptance form right now</p>

<p>Thanks, fqzeng. You are very helpful.</p>

<p>Your application for the Berkeley Lab Internships for Precollegiate Scholars (BLIPS) program is still being reviewed and considered for placement. The deadline for placements has been extended through May 26, 2010. </p>

<p>Just awesome. We get to wait another week and three days.</p>

<p>^I got the same message.</p>

<p>I bet you they’re going to do the same thing on the 26th and push the deadline even further. Uggh</p>
